FAQs

When should I wash the FibreKing Gold Label Drying Towel?

It is recommended to wash the towel before its first use. After each subsequent use, wash it as soon as possible to prevent dirt and contaminants from setting into the fibres.

Can I use fabric softener with this towel?

No, you should never use fabric softener or chlorine bleach with microfibre towels. These products clog the microfibre's structure, reducing absorbency and damaging the material over time.

How large is the FibreKing Gold Label Drying Towel?

The towel measures 50 cm x 80 cm, providing a generous surface area for efficient vehicle drying.

What is the GSM of this drying towel?

The FibreKing Gold Label Drying Towel has a plush density of 900 GSM (Grams per Square Meter), contributing to its high absorbency and soft feel.

Is this towel safe for ceramic coatings or PPF?

Yes, the ultra-soft, non-abrasive fibres and plush GSM are specifically designed to be safe for delicate surfaces like clear coats, ceramic coatings, and paint protection film (PPF).

Can I tumble dry the towel?

Yes, you can tumble dry the towel, but only on the lowest, cool dry setting. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the microfibre.

Will the color fade or bleed significantly?

Some minor color bleed may occur on the first wash. It is advisable to wash it with similar colors or separately for the initial washes. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may cause dye bleeding.

Troubleshooting

Towel is not absorbing water effectively.

Ensure the towel has been washed before first use. If it's an older towel, it might be saturated with product residue or improperly washed. Re-wash using a specialist microfibre cleaner, an extra rinse cycle, and avoiding fabric softener or bleach.

Visible streaks after drying.

This can be due to residual detergent or softener. Ensure an extra rinse cycle is used during washing. Also, check if the towel is overloaded with water; wring it out gently if necessary. Ensure the surface was properly washed before drying.

Towel feels stiff or rough.

This is often a result of fabric softener or mineral buildup. Wash the towel with a specialist microfibre cleaner and possibly a microfibre rejuvenator, using an extra rinse cycle. Avoid using fabric softener in future washes.

Color bleeding onto other surfaces.

Wash the towel separately or with similar dark colors, especially for the first few washes. If bleeding occurs onto the vehicle, clean the affected area immediately with appropriate detailing products.
