Microfiber Towels
Microfiber requires special care to maintain its unique properties and effectiveness.
Washing Microfiber
- Wash separately from cotton towels to prevent lint transfer
- Use warm or cold water only—never hot
- Use liquid detergent (powder can clog fibers)
- Avoid fabric softener completely—destroys microfiber effectiveness
- Don't use bleach—damages synthetic fibers
- Wash after every 2-3 uses
Drying Microfiber
- Air dry when possible for longest lifespan
- If tumble drying, use low heat only
- Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles
- Never use dryer sheets
Luxury & Premium Towels
High-end towels (Egyptian cotton, Turkish cotton, Supima) require gentle care to preserve their exceptional quality.
