FAQs

What is GSM and why is it important for towels?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter,' which is a measure of fabric density. A higher GSM (like the 550GSM of these towels) generally indicates a thicker, plusher, and more absorbent towel. Lower GSM towels are typically lighter and dry faster.

Can I use fabric softener with these towels?

It is generally recommended to avoid fabric softeners with high-quality towels. Softeners can coat the cotton fibers, reducing their absorbency and making them feel less plush over time.

How often should I wash my towels?

It's recommended to wash bath towels every 3-4 days or after each use if preferred. Hand towels can be washed more frequently.

Will the beige color fade easily?

With proper care, following the washing instructions (avoiding bleach and washing with similar colors), the beige color should remain vibrant. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading.

Are these towels suitable for sensitive skin?

Made from soft cotton, these towels are generally suitable for most skin types. However, if you have specific skin sensitivities, always test products or materials on a small area first.

What does 'heritage coastal influences' mean for the design?

This refers to a design aesthetic inspired by traditional seaside living. For these towels, it translates to classic stripe patterns that evoke a sense of timelessness and relaxed elegance often associated with coastal regions.

Troubleshooting

Towels feel stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce absorbency over time. Ensure you are not over-drying them in the tumble dryer. A clean tennis ball in the dryer can help restore fluffiness.

Color fading or bleeding

Wash with similar colors only, especially for the first few washes. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals like bleach.

Reduced absorbency

Residue from detergents or fabric softeners can build up. Try washing the towels on a warm cycle with a small amount of vinegar (without detergent) to strip residue, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softener in future washes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a warm cycle (up to 40°C) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
