Washing tips and instructions for terry cloth items

WASHING

  • Wash before first use.
  • Do not use cold or warm water. Specific program for towels.
  • Wash dark colours separately.
  • Do not leave wet towels/terry pieces together for a long time, they can cause discoloration and colour transfer.
  • Do not dry clean.
  • Do not use bleach.

DETERGENT / SOFTENER

  • Use neutral soap for colours.
  • Strong detergents only because of the white colour, as they contain bleach.
  • Excess detergent can leave residues on the cotton fibers, causing harden´s fabric and losing the vitality of colour.
  • The use of anti-calc products improves the result of washing.
  • Adding too much softener implies a loss of fabric absorption.

DRY

  • If possible, we recommend the use of a dryer, with the specific towel program.
  • Drying towels in radiators hardens the fibers and the towel becomes stiff.
  • Do not iron at high temperature and preferably without steam.

Effects

PILLING

  • New towels/items leave lint in the first wash and use.
  • To avoid the formation of " fluff balls " use the soft program, specific for towels, and the drum load recommended by the washing machine.

SHRINKAGE

  • The manufactured items are 100% cotton, so they are subject to a natural shrinking of 5% to 10%.
  • We recommend stretching and shaping with your hands when they are wet and repeating once they are dry.

LOOSE THREADS

  • Do not pull the threads, cut them.
  • Avoid washing terry articles together with other garments that have zips, hooks or Velcro.

DECOLORING

  • Keep in mind that substances such as: dyes, cosmetics or detergents can discolour and stain terry fabric.
