Lobster Creek Kaleidoscope 550 GSM Cotton Towel Range - Orange

GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter' and is a measure of the towel's density and weight. A 550 GSM rating signifies a thick, plush, and highly absorbent towel, offering a luxurious feel and excellent drying capabilities.

For optimal care, wash at 40°C and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using bleach, as it can damage fibres and fade colours. It's also recommended to avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce absorbency over time. Wash dark colours, like orange, separately for the first few washes to prevent dye transfer.

While these towels are designed for durability, like all coloured textiles, prolonged exposure to harsh detergents, bleach, or excessive sunlight can cause some fading. Following the care instructions (wash at 40°C, low tumble dry) will help preserve the vibrant orange colour for longer.

Yes, these towels are made from 100% combed cotton. Combed cotton is known for its natural softness, smooth texture, and breathability, making them generally gentle and suitable for sensitive skin.

The Lobster Creek Kaleidoscope towel range typically includes Hand Towels (approx. 50 x 90 cm), Bath Towels (approx. 70 x 135 cm), and Bath Sheets (approx. 90 x 150 cm). Specific dimensions for each type can be found on the product listing.

Combed cotton undergoes an extra refining process where shorter fibres and impurities are removed, leaving only the longer, stronger cotton fibres. This results in a much softer, smoother, and more durable yarn, which in turn makes the towels more absorbent and less prone to pilling.

Yes, the Lobster Creek Kaleidoscope towel range is made with responsibly sourced cotton, indicating a commitment to more sustainable and ethical practices in cotton production.

This is often caused by fabric softener buildup. To restore absorbency, avoid using fabric softener. You can also wash towels with a cup of white vinegar added to the rinse cycle (without detergent) once every few months to strip away buildup. Ensure your washing machine isn't overloaded.

Excessive linting is common for new cotton towels during their first few washes. Wash the towel 2-3 times before its first use. Always ensure your dryer's lint trap is clean before and after each drying cycle. This issue typically subsides after several washes.

Ensure you are washing at the recommended 40°C and tumble drying on low heat. High temperatures can cause colours to fade. Avoid prolonged direct exposure to strong sunlight when drying. Always wash with similar colours to prevent discolouration from other garments.

Overloading the washing machine can prevent proper rinsing, leaving detergent residue that makes towels stiff. Use a low heat setting in the dryer or consider air-drying to maintain softness. Over-drying can also make towels stiff, so remove them promptly when dry.
