Our top 5 tips and reminders for taking care of your lush new towels keeping them beautifully soft and absorbent.
1. Wash 1-2 times per week or every few uses.
Washing towels regularly prevents build up of bath and body products which can end up weighing down your towel and stopping the cotton from being as absorbent as it was made to be.
2. Select a warm wash cycle
No need to be too precious our towels can withstand anything from cold - 60'C. Opt for warmer washes if you use face or body products with oils in them.
3. Use a washing detergent that does NOT contain whiteners, brighteners or softeners.
Fridah uses OEKO-TEX® certified yarn and cotton for our towelling as a minimum standard. This label certifies that every component of the product has been tested against a list of up to 350 toxic chemicals that can be potentially harmful to health. If this sounds like it is of importance to you we highly recommend checking the ingredients of your washing detergents and opt for more natural detergents wherever possible.

Earthwise.
4. Hang out to dry and then finish of in a warm dryer
Don't be afraid of a gentle tumble! It can be key in keeping towels soft and lint free
5. Cut off any loose threads regularly
It is only natural for looped terry towelling to get the odd pull or loose thread. Simply snip it off close to the base with some sharp scissors and get back to it!
Your towels will look and act good as new for a long, long time.
