FAQ’s
It is recommended to wash towels after every three to four uses to maintain hygiene and prevent the build-up of bacteria, dead skin cells, and other debris that can accumulate on the surface of towels over time.
a) Wash towels in warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the fibres of the towel and reduce its absorbency.
b) If you are washing coloured towels, make sure to separate them from white towels and other laundry to avoid colour bleeding.
c) Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang them out to air dry. Avoid using high heat settings as this can damage the fibres and reduce their absorbency.
d) Do not dry clean towels or iron them as this can damage the fibres and reduce their absorbency.
While fabric softener can help to make your towels feel softer and smell nice, it is generally not recommended to use it on towels. Fabric softener can leave a residue on the fibers that can reduce the towels’ absorbency and make them less effective at drying your body.
While it is possible to reuse a towel more than once, it is generally not recommended. Reusing a towel that is damp or not completely dry can create a moist environment that can allow bacteria to thrive, leading to unpleasant odors and potential health issues.
The lifespan of a towel is dependent on several factors, including how frequently it is used and how well it is cared for. The recommendation to wash towels after every three to four uses (8 times wash per month) is to maintain hygiene and prevent the build-up of bacteria. Assuming that you are well cared towel, it is generally recommended to replace your towel every 6 to 12 months.
Air drying towels can be a more environmentally-friendly option, as it does not require any electricity. Additionally, air drying can help to preserve the texture and softness of the towel, as high heat from a dryer can damage the fibres and reduce the towel’s absorbency.
