FAQs

What does 550 GSM mean?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre. A 550 GSM rating indicates a medium-to-heavy weight towel, offering a plush feel, good absorbency, and reasonable drying time. It's a popular choice for a balance of luxury and practicality.

What is combed cotton and why is it better?

Combed cotton undergoes an extra step during manufacturing where shorter fibers and impurities are removed. This results in stronger, smoother, and more uniform fibers, leading to a softer, more durable, and highly absorbent towel.

How do I keep my towels soft?

To maintain softness, follow the care instructions: wash at 40°C, tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using excessive detergent or fabric softener, as these can build up and make towels stiff. A cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle occasionally can help remove residue and restore softness.

Are these towels eco-friendly?

Yes, this product supports responsibly sourced cotton, indicating a commitment to more sustainable and ethical cotton production practices.

Can I mix and match different colours in the Kaleidoscope range?

Absolutely! The Kaleidoscope range is designed with fresh, bright colours that can be easily mixed and matched to create a personalized and cohesive look that complements your bathroom decor.

What sizes are available in this towel range?

The Lobster Creek Kaleidoscope range is available in several practical sizes, including Hand Towel (approx. 50 x 90 cm), Bath Towel (approx. 70 x 135 cm), and Bath Sheet (approx. 90 x 150 cm).

Troubleshooting

My towels don't feel as soft or absorbent as expected after the first wash.

Towels often 'bloom' and become softer and more absorbent after a few washes. Ensure you are washing at 40°C and tumble drying on low heat. Avoid excessive fabric softener, which can reduce absorbency.

My towels are developing an odd smell.

This can happen if towels are left damp for too long. Always dry towels completely after use and washing. For existing smells, wash with a cup of white vinegar (no detergent) on a hot cycle, followed by a regular wash cycle. Tumble dry thoroughly.

The colour of my towel seems to be fading.

Ensure you are washing with similar colours and using a detergent suitable for colours. Avoid using bleach, even non-chlorine bleach, if not specified for coloured items. Always tumble dry on low heat to minimize colour degradation.

My towel has a pulled thread or snag.

It's normal for looped towels to occasionally snag. Do not pull the snag. Instead, carefully trim the pulled loop with a sharp pair of scissors to prevent further unraveling. This will not damage the towel's overall structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and smoothness due to combed cotton.
  • High absorbency, leaving skin instantly dry and warm.
  • Durable and improves in feel after each wash.
  • Stylish design with an embroidered logo and vibrant colour options.
  • Supports responsibly sourced cotton, an eco-friendly benefit.

Cons

  • Requires specific washing temperature (40°C) for best care.
  • Tumble drying must be on low heat to maintain integrity.
  • Initial washes may be slightly less soft until fibers 'bloom'.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Preparation

While there's no traditional 'setup' for towels, it is recommended to wash your towels before their first use. This helps to open up the cotton fibers, maximizing absorbency and softness right from the start.

Compatibility

  • Bathroom Decor: The vibrant colours and classic design, featuring the embroidered Lobster Creek logo, are highly compatible with a wide range of modern and classic bathroom aesthetics. You can easily mix and match different colours and sizes to create a personalized look.
  • Skin Types: The combed cotton provides a soft, smooth texture, making these towels suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Care Instructions

Proper care will ensure your Lobster Creek Kaleidoscope towels remain soft, absorbent, and vibrant for years to come.

  1. Washing: Wash at 40°C (104°F). Use a gentle cycle with a good quality detergent. Avoid overloading the washing machine to allow thorough cleaning and rinsing.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage cotton fibers over time, reducing softness and absorbency. For best results and to maintain fluffiness, remove towels promptly when dry.
  3. Detergents: Avoid using excessive detergent, as residue can build up and make towels stiff. Fabric softeners are generally not recommended for towels as they can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency. If desired, use sparingly or opt for natural alternatives like white vinegar in the rinse cycle (which can also help remove detergent buildup).
  4. Bleach: Do not use bleach, as it can weaken fibers and cause colour fading.
  5. Separate Washes: Wash towels with similar colours to prevent colour transfer. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or hooks that could snag the towel loops.
  6. Snags: If a loop snags, carefully trim it with scissors. Do not pull the snag, as this can unravel the towel.
