FAQs
What are the dimensions of the towel?
The towel measures 79 cm x 130 cm (31 inches x 51 inches).
How does the anti-bacterial treatment work?
The treatment is infused into the fabric to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping the towel stay fresher between washes.
Can I use bleach on this towel?
No, bleach should not be used as it can damage the microfibre and the anti-bacterial treatment.
Is the mesh bag waterproof?
The mesh bag is not waterproof but is designed for ventilation to help the towel dry and prevent odors during storage.
How often should I wash the towel?
Wash as needed, typically after each few uses or when you notice any odor. Follow the care instructions for best results.
Will this towel work for long hair?
Yes, at 79 x 130 cm, it offers ample coverage suitable for drying long hair effectively.
What makes microfibre dry faster than cotton?
Microfibre's fine fibres create a larger surface area that can hold more water, and its structure allows moisture to evaporate much more quickly than traditional cotton fibres.
Troubleshooting
Towel is not drying as quickly as expected.
Ensure no fabric softener was used in the wash, as it coats the fibres. Re-wash with a mild detergent and no softener, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Towel has a persistent odor.
Re-wash the towel using a mild detergent and ensure thorough rinsing. Air dry completely. Avoid storing the towel while damp.
Towel feels stiff or less soft.
Fabric softener or high heat drying can cause stiffness. Wash again with mild detergent only, and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.
Zipped mesh case is difficult to close.
Ensure the towel is folded neatly and not overstuffed into the case. Check the zipper for any fabric obstructions.
