FAQs

What is rPET microfiber?

rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate. This means the microfiber in this towel is made from recycled plastic bottles, making it an eco-friendly choice.

How does it dry three times faster than cotton?

Microfiber has a much larger surface area due to its fine fibers, allowing water to evaporate more quickly compared to the denser weave of cotton.

Can I use fabric softener with this towel?

It is strongly advised not to use fabric softener, as it can coat the microfiber strands, reducing the towel's absorbency and quick-drying capabilities.

What are the exact dimensions of the towel?

The towel measures 160cm in length and 90cm in width.

Is the elasticated loop durable for frequent use?

The elasticated loop is designed for convenient folding and storage. For prolonged durability, avoid overstretching it when folding.

What is the warranty period for this towel?

The Go Travel Quick Drying Beach And Sport Towel comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Will sand stick to this towel?

The loopless fabric is designed to repel sand, making it easier to shake off compared to traditional terry cloth towels.

Troubleshooting

Towel not drying as quickly as expected

Ensure the towel is not overloaded in the washing machine, which can trap moisture. Check for any fabric softener residue, which may need a rinse cycle without detergent to remove. Ensure it's being dried in a well-ventilated area or on a low heat setting in the dryer.

Sand is difficult to remove

Although designed to repel sand, if some is embedded, shake the towel vigorously outdoors. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before shaking, as damp sand tends to cling more.

Reduced absorbency over time

This is often caused by fabric softeners or detergent buildup. Try a vinegar rinse (1 cup white vinegar in the wash cycle, no detergent) followed by a rinse cycle to remove residue. Avoid using fabric softeners in future washes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
