How to Care for Handwoven Towels

You decided to upgrade from non-absorbent, factory-made towels to luxurious handwoven cotton towels. Huzzah! We appreciate you taking the leap. Now that you've invested in a softer, more absorbent, and more eco-friendly option, you'll want to make sure they last as long as possible. So, how can you ensure that your handwoven towels stay in top condition for years to come?

Washing and Drying Tips

To keep your handwoven cotton towels looking and feeling their best for the longest amount of time, it's essential to follow the care instructions.

For best results:

  • Wash your towels in cold water 
  • Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach
  • Dry on a low tumble dry setting or air dry (hang) your towels

If you follow these guidelines, you'll prevent damage, maintain absorbency, and keep the colors bright.

Although these are the recommended practices for making the towels last as long as possible, our towels are durable enough that they won't be ruined by a high-heat washing or drying cycle. So don't stress if you forgot to change the settings before you started the load!

Why Handwoven Cotton?

Handwoven cotton towels are a true indulgence for your skin. And, unlike industrially made towels, these towels are never treated with any chemicals, which can cause skin irritation as well as make the towels less absorbent. Cotton is breathable and highly absorbent, ensuring that you dry off quickly and comfortably after each use. Plus, the intricate hand-woven patterns and the great colors add a touch of elegance to your bathroom or kitchen decor.
