FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the towel?
The Canteen Tea Towel measures 52 cm in height and 57 cm in width.
Can I bleach this towel to remove stains?
It is not recommended to use bleach on this towel, as it will likely damage the fabric fibers and cause the colored band to fade or discolor.
Is this towel safe for use on delicate glassware?
Yes, the soft cotton construction is gentle on glassware, though users should be careful to avoid snagging the waffle texture on sharp edges.
Does the towel come with a hanging loop?
The towel is designed to be draped easily over handles; it does not feature a dedicated sewn-in hanging loop.
How often should I wash this tea towel?
Depending on usage, it is recommended to wash the towel at least once or twice a week to maintain hygiene and prevent the buildup of bacteria.
Troubleshooting
Towel feels less absorbent after several washes
Avoid using liquid fabric softeners. The buildup from these products coats the fibers and prevents water absorption.
Fabric has become misshapen
Avoid high-heat tumble drying. Reshape the towel while damp and lay it flat to dry to restore its original rectangular dimensions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Canteen Tea Towel, please follow these care instructions. Upon receiving the product, it is recommended to wash the towel before first use to remove any factory finish and enhance absorbency. Always wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer. For the best results, use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can create a waxy coating on the cotton fibers, which significantly reduces the towel's ability to absorb water. To maintain the waffle texture, tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry, and avoid ironing at high temperatures, which may flatten the weave.
