Troubleshooting
Towel is not as absorbent as before.
Wash the towel with a small amount of mild detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Ensure it is thoroughly rinsed.
Towel is taking longer than usual to dry.
Ensure the towel is not packed too densely when wet. Hang it in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
Storage case is difficult to close.
Ensure the towel is folded neatly and as flat as possible before placing it in the case. If the towel is damp, ensure it is not bunched up.
Snags or pulls in the fabric.
Avoid contact with sharp or rough surfaces. Minor snags can often be trimmed carefully with scissors. Store in its case when not in use to protect the fabric.
