Full details

Its key benefit is its exceptional absorbency combined with a lightweight and quick-drying nature, offering comfort that lasts.

FAQs

What does 'zero twist' mean for a towel?

Zero twist refers to the yarn construction where the cotton fibers are not twisted together. This process creates a softer, more absorbent, and lighter towel compared to traditional twisted yarns.

How often should I wash my Biba towels?

It is recommended to wash your towels every 3-4 days of use, or more frequently if used in humid conditions or for specific purposes like gym workouts.

Why should I avoid fabric softener?

Fabric softeners contain chemicals that can coat the cotton fibers, reducing their ability to absorb water and diminishing the towel's softness over time. It's better to use vinegar in the rinse cycle if needed for softening.

What are the dimensions of the Hand Towel, Bath Towel, and Bath Sheet?

The Hand Towel measures 50x75cm, the Bath Towel measures 70x120cm, and the Bath Sheet measures 90x140cm.

Is the grey color prone to staining?

The grey color is a muted tone that can help mask minor stains compared to lighter colors. However, prompt cleaning of spills is always recommended for any fabric.

Can I use these towels for my baby or sensitive skin?

Yes, the 100% cotton zero twist construction makes these towels particularly soft and gentle, making them suitable for sensitive skin and babies, provided they are cared for properly without harsh detergents or softeners.

What is the GSM of the towel?

The GSM (Grams per Square Meter) of this towel is 450gsm. This weight is chosen to balance absorbency with quick-drying properties.

Troubleshooting

Towel feels stiff or less absorbent after washing

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can build up on the fibers. Try washing again with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle (ensure no bleach is present) to help strip away residue, then tumble dry on low.

Snags or pulls in the fabric

Trim any loose threads with scissors to prevent them from unraveling further. Ensure towels are washed separately from items with zippers or Velcro.

Towel taking too long to dry

Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded and the spin cycle is effective. Check that the drying environment has good air circulation. Consider using a tumble dryer on a low setting, removing when slightly damp.

Color fading

Wash in cold or warm water instead of hot. Avoid direct sunlight when air drying. Ensure no bleach is used during washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These towels require no special setup. Upon receiving them, it is recommended to wash them before first use to enhance absorbency and remove any residual finishing agents.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard washing machines and dryers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in warm water (up to 40°C or 104°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the cotton fibers and reduce absorbency and softness over time.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach. Chlorine bleach can damage cotton fibers and affect the color.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results and to maintain softness, remove the towels from the dryer while slightly damp and hang them to air dry completely. Avoid over-drying, which can make the fibers brittle.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. It is generally not required.
  5. Separate Washing: Wash towels separately from other items, especially those with zippers or rough textures, to prevent snagging.
