Caring for your Turkish Towels

All Turkish towels, scarves and robes should to be washed before their first use.
To keep them looking their best, follow the label care instructions and

  1. Wash in cold or cool temperatures
  2. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Fabric softeners coat the towel fibres which reduces their absorbency
  3. For some extra care, add a cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle in your washing machine load whilst washing, this removes the build-up and residue that can collect and maintains the beauty and softness of the towel.

If there is a thread pull in the towel, thanks to the longer threads, it's not a big deal and you can fix it. Pull gently along the width of the towel and the pulled thread will flatten back into place. If this doesn't work, you can snip it with scissors and remove the thread. The weaving technique helps hold the shape of the towel and snipping one thread will not compromise the rest of the towel.  

Tassel care
The tassels are hand knotted and some can become unraveled over time. They just need to be re-tied.

  1. Split into two equal sections.
  2. Twist each section clockwise till fully twisted.
  3. Twist the two sections together in an anti-clockwise direction till fully twisted around each other.
  4. Tie a knot at the end of tassel.
