Biba 450gsm Cotton Zero Twist Quick Dry Towel - White

Zero twist refers to the yarn used in weaving the towel. Instead of twisting the cotton fibers together to create yarn, they are used as single strands. This results in a softer, more absorbent, and quicker-drying towel, though it may require gentler care.

450gsm (grams per square meter) is considered a medium-weight towel. It offers a good balance between absorbency and a lightweight feel, making it practical for everyday use without being overly heavy.

To maintain softness, always wash on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry, and do not over-dry.

No, bleach should not be used on these towels as it can damage the cotton fibers and cause color loss or uneven fading.

The sizes available are Hand Towel (50x75cm), Bath Towel (70x120cm), and Bath Sheet (90x140cm).

Fabric softeners can coat the cotton fibers, reducing their ability to absorb water and diminishing the quick-drying properties characteristic of zero twist towels. They can also break down the fibers over time.

It is generally recommended to wash bath towels every 3-4 uses, or more frequently if they become visibly soiled or develop odors. Hand towels used daily may require washing more often.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can stiffen the fibers. Wash again with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to help remove residue. Ensure the towel is not over-dried in the dryer.

Verify that the towel is not overloaded in the washing machine or dryer. Ensure there are no obstructions in the dryer vent. Excessive detergent can also hinder drying; use only a mild, recommended amount.

Avoid washing with abrasive materials or in overly hot water. Ensure the towel is not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods while drying, as this can cause fading. Stick to cold water washes for darker colors.

Carefully snip any snagged loops with sharp scissors to prevent them from pulling further. Avoid washing with items that have zippers, Velcro, or hooks that could catch the towel's fibers.
