FAQs
How many times can each towel be washed?
Each reusable bamboo towel can be washed and reused up to one hundred (100) times.
How many uses does one roll provide?
One roll of these reusable bamboo towels provides approximately two thousand (2,000) uses in total.
What are the dimensions of each towel?
Each towel measures 28cm x 28cm.
How should I wash these towels?
You can wash them separately or with other items in your washing machine. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners for best results.
Are these towels biodegradable?
Yes, the bamboo towels degrade within 3 months when they are no longer needed.
What is the total number of sheets in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 sheets, and the product is supplied as 3 packs, making a total of 60 sheets.
Why is bamboo a good material for kitchen towels?
Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows quickly, helping to reduce carbon dioxide. It is also naturally strong and highly absorbent, making it ideal for cleaning tasks.
Troubleshooting
Towels not absorbing well
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as it coats the fibers and reduces absorbency. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. If residue persists, a vinegar rinse (1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water) can help remove build-up.
Towels developing odors
Wash the towels more frequently or in hotter water. Ensure they are completely dry after washing and before storage. A pre-soak in a solution of baking soda and water may help neutralize odors.
Towels tearing easily
While durable, excessive scrubbing on very rough surfaces might cause wear. For tougher tasks, consider using a scrub brush in conjunction with the towel, or use a new sheet if significant force is required.
Towels shrinking after washing
Bamboo can sometimes shrink slightly. Avoid high heat drying settings. Air drying or tumble drying on a low heat setting is recommended to minimize shrinkage.

Cons
- Requires regular washing, adding to laundry load.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unroll the sheets as needed. There is no specific setup required; they are ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: These towels are compatible with standard household cleaning practices. They can be used with water, mild detergents, or cleaning sprays.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Wash the towels separately or with similar items (like dishcloths or towels) in a washing machine. A machine wash is recommended for hygiene and to maintain absorbency.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the absorbency of the bamboo fibers.
- Temperature: Wash in warm or hot water for best cleaning results. Check the material's resilience if using very high temperatures repeatedly.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. Ensure towels are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Longevity: To maximize the lifespan of each towel (up to 100 uses), avoid harsh chemicals or excessive bleaching, which can degrade the bamboo fibers.
