caring for your Turkish towel

1. Caring for Your Turkish Towel
When you make a luxury purchase such as selecting a Turkish towel, you want to do everything
you can to keep it in prime condition as long as possible. If your towel fails to keep its beautiful
look and incredible softness, then there is not much purpose in keeping it. Of course, this should
not frighten you as it is very easy to care for a Turkish product and you will find that a few
simple steps will keep your towel looking as fresh as the day you purchased it.
One thing shoppers are worried about when they purchase a luxury towel is whether or not it will
pull or unravel if one of the loops becomes loose or gets caught on something. This will not be a
worry with Turkish towels because the unique weaving technique helps hold the shape of the
towel.
If you notice a thread has been pulled out of place, all you need to do is gently pull it forward
and snip it with scissors. Then you can proceed to care for your towel with whatever washing
and drying techniques necessary to maintain it further.
Washing Your Towel
Washing a Turkish towel is very easy, with few extra steps needed to keep your purchase in
prime condition.
• Wash your Turkish towel with detergent whenever it has been exposed to soil, oil or other
contaminants
• Towels with no dye or design can be washed with bleach if necessary
• To keep up the absorbency of your Turkish cotton batch towel, add a cup of vinegar during
the rinse cycle one a month.

2. Since so much of the quality of your Turkish towel relies on its absorbency, you should not do
anything that could take away from this quality. Because of this you should never use fabric
softener, especially a brand that contains silicon which will make your fabric water repellent.
Turkish weaving is so soft it will not need help from chemical additives to stay comfortable.
Drying Your Towel Properly
You can dry a Turkish towel in a standard dryer, but you want to be careful not to overheat it.
Keep the heat fairly low and do not leave the towel in the machine longer than it needs to get
basically dry. Alternating between hang drying and machine drying your towel will help keep the
towels fluffy and help protect the integrity of the cotton.
Don’t panic if you notice your luxury bath towels losing fibers when drying. Due to the nature of
the weaving, it is not uncommon for towels to lose a few threads the first couple of times they
are washed. If this continues long after you have washed the towel a few times or it appears that
the lost fibers are having an impact on the quality of the towel, contact the manufacturer for
advice on how to wash your towel properly to avoid more damage.
