FAQs
What does 650g mean in this context?
The 650g refers to the Grams per Square Meter (GSM) of the fabric, indicating that this is a dense, heavy-weight towel.
Is the teal color prone to fading?
Pima cotton holds dyes very well, but it is recommended to wash with like colors and avoid direct, harsh sunlight when drying.
Can I use bleach on these towels?
No, bleach will damage the natural pima cotton fibers and alter the teal color.
How long does the towel take to dry?
Due to its high density, it will take longer to air dry than thinner towels; tumble drying is recommended for best results.
Is this towel suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, pima cotton is known for being soft and smooth, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Towel feels less absorbent after several washes
Reduce detergent usage and eliminate fabric softener entirely, as these chemicals coat the fibers.
Excessive lint in the dryer
This is common with new high-GSM towels; clean your lint trap after every cycle and the shedding will decrease after 3-4 washes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pima cotton towels, follow these best practices:
- Pre-wash: Wash the towel before first use to remove any manufacturing finishes and fluff out the fibers.
- Detergent Use: Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they leave a waxy buildup that significantly reduces the towel's absorbency over time.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low-to-medium heat setting. Over-drying can cause the cotton fibers to become brittle.
- Handling Snags: If a thread loops, carefully trim it with scissors rather than pulling it to prevent unraveling.
