Care to Consider |
|
Egyptian Cotton |
Cotton from Egypt prized for its long staple and lustrous, strong fibers.
|
|
Staple Length |
The length of a fiber when measured in a straightened condition. |
|
Terry |
A fabric featuring uncut loops, on one or both sides, which enhance its drying capability.
The loop surfaces are referred to as “pile.”
|
|
Modal |
Modal is made from 100% natural beechwood to produce an incredibly strong and super
absorbent fiber.
|
|
Velour |
Produced by brushing and shearing terry loops to create a soft, thick, short nap.
|
|
|
Laundering |
Wash similar colors together with soft water and detergent but not fabric softeners,
which contain silicones that actually repel water.
|
|
|
Deep colors should be washed separately.
|
|
|
Avoid detergents that contain brighteners and whiteners as these will affect the
color of your towels.
|
|
|
Avoid contact with bleach and bleach-related products. These will remove color from
your towels permanently and can be present in facial cleansers, cosmetics, skin
treatments and bathroom cleaners.
|
|
Drying |
Tumble drying on a medium heat will give towels the softest finish. |
