• Keep your beauty and cleaning products well away – Medicated face washes, facial creams, hair colourant and certain cleaners can and will damage your towel. Keep them well away!
• Loose loops get cut – If the loops in your towel start to pull, don’t tug on them. This can damage the towel and shorten its lifespan. Take to loose loops with with a pair of scissors instead.
• Show harsh chemicals the door – Harsh chemicals can destroy towel fibres and reduce their lifespan significantly. Go for high quality cleaners, they’re better on your towel and the environment too.
