Caring for your Turkish Towels

All Pippah Turkish towels, scarves, and robes should to be washed before their first use.

To keep them looking their best you need to follow the label care instructions and;

1.  Wash in cold or very cool (30° celsius) temperatures

2.  Do not use fabric softeners or bleach

         *  Fabric softeners coat the towel fibres which reduces their absorbency.

3.  Dry naturally, air dry (preferably flat in the shade), and never in the dryer.

4.  Every month or so, 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, it's not a big deal...  You just need to gently pull the loose thread forward, snip it with scissors and remove. 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 can become unravelled over time. They just need to be re-tied.

Step One:  Split into two sections and twist each section clockwise till fully twisted.

Step Two:  Take each section and wrap around each other in an anti-clockwise direction till fully twisted around each other.

Step Three: Tie a knot at the end of tassel.

 

Turkish Towels need to be used, the more they are used the softer and more comfortable they become. They are made with love, to be loved.

Our towels are hand loomed (or semi-hand loomed) and no two towels are identical, there may be some variations in some of the colours and threads as they are made individually.
