FAQs

Can I machine wash this tea towel?

Yes, this tea towel is 100% cotton and is machine washable. We recommend washing it with similar colors in warm water.

Will the colors fade over time?

While designed to be durable, like all colored textiles, repeated washing and exposure to direct sunlight can lead to some fading over a very long period. Following the care instructions will help preserve vibrancy.

Is this tea towel absorbent?

Absolutely. Made from 100% high-quality cotton, it is designed for excellent absorbency, making it ideal for drying dishes, hands, and wiping surfaces.

Where is this tea towel made?

This Glencoe Butterflies Tea Towel is proudly made in the UK by Samuel Lamont, a company with a long history in textile manufacturing.

Can I use it as a hot pad?

While the cotton fabric offers some heat protection, it is primarily designed as a tea towel for drying and wiping. For very hot items, a dedicated oven mitt or hot pad is recommended for safety.

Does it have a hanging loop?

Yes, it features a convenient sewn-in hanging loop for easy storage and accessibility in your kitchen.

Troubleshooting

Tea towel not absorbing effectively.

Ensure the towel has been washed at least once before first use to remove any sizing or finishes from manufacturing. Repeated washing can also improve absorbency over time.

Colors fading after washing.

Wash with similar colors in warm water using a mild detergent. Avoid hot water, bleach, or harsh chemicals. Air drying or low tumble drying helps preserve color vibrancy.

Towel feels stiff or scratchy after drying.

This can happen with cotton, especially in hard water areas. Consider using less detergent or adding a small amount of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to soften the fabric. Avoid over-drying in the machine.

Tea towel has shrunk.

Cotton can naturally shrink slightly, especially if washed in very hot water or tumble dried on high heat. To prevent further shrinkage, wash in warm water and air dry or use a low tumble dry setting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High Absorbency: 100% cotton construction offers superior liquid absorption, making drying tasks efficient.
  • Decorative Appeal: The vibrant butterfly design enhances kitchen decor, doubling as a functional piece of art.
  • Durable: Made by a long-standing textile company, ensuring robust quality for frequent use.
  • Easy Storage: The sewn-in hanging loop provides a practical storage solution, keeping your kitchen tidy.

Cons

  • Requires Specific Care: As a 100% cotton item, it may require specific washing temperatures to prevent shrinking or color fading.
  • Can Wrinkle: Cotton fabric is prone to wrinkling if not dried or folded promptly after washing.
  • Not Heat Resistant for Direct Contact: While useful for handling warm items, it's not designed as a primary heat pad for extremely hot surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

The Glencoe Butterflies Cotton Tea Towel requires minimal setup. Simply remove it from its packaging. For best initial performance and to set colors, it's recommended to wash it before first use.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity of your tea towel and maintain its vibrant colors and absorbency, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash warm with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, which can damage the cotton fibers and fade the design.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry. Air drying is often preferred to minimize shrinkage and preserve color.
  3. Ironing: If desired, iron on a medium heat setting.
  4. Avoid: Do not dry clean. Do not iron over any printed labels if present.
