Is the artwork prone to peeling or cracking?
The artwork is integrated into the fabric design. Following the recommended washing and ironing instructions will help maintain its integrity and prevent peeling or cracking.
What is the benefit of organic cotton?

Troubleshooting
Tea towel feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with natural fibres. A fabric softener can help restore softness, or try a lower heat setting for drying. Ensure no harsh detergents were used.
Colours appear faded after a few washes
Ensure you are washing with similar colours and using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Washing on a cooler setting and air drying can help preserve the colours.
Hanging loop feels weak
Inspect the stitching of the hanging loop. If it appears loose, you can reinforce it with a few stitches using a needle and thread for added durability.
