Bath Care Guide
Bath Towels & Bath Mats
Our bath towels and bath mats are crafted from long staple cotton with fabric hand-applied trims. The long staple cotton fibres used in our towels mean they are naturally soft and long-lasting, while the zero-twist construction makes them incredibly absorbent and soft.
Wash at up to 40 degrees with a detergent without optical brightening agents - they will cause colours in trims to run and they otherwise negatively impact textiles. Do not use products containing chlorine or bleach. Avoid fabric softeners as they will add a coat to your towels, reducing the absorbency of your towels. To keep your towels soft and fluffy, we recommend the following: Shake your towels before placing them in the washing machine to open up the fibres, which helps them to absorb detergent during the washing cycle. If you live in an area with hard water, use a water softener. Also run your washing machine empty with a cup of distilled white wine vinegar every few months to prevent limescale building up. Place a tennis ball or dryer balls into your tumble drier as they help to fluff up towels as they dry.
Ensure that there is air flow to your towels such as a linen cupboard with slatted wooden shelves. You can add dried lavender bunches to deter moths while adding a lovely scent. Be aware that cedar or other wooden chests can release acidic gases that can stain and/or deteriorate fabrics. Similar effects can also happen if you have heating pipes running through drying cupboards.
