Shrinkage due to washing
As you may be aware, all items that are made of Cotton fibers will result in reasonable amount of shrinkage after the few initial washes. Please adhere to the care instructions to minimize this. 5-7% shrinkage of Cotton products is well within accepted industry standards. Our generously cut robes and towel wraps help allow room for this usual shrinkage.
What are the benefits of a microfiber towel?
Microfiber towels are a game-changer across many industries, offering exceptional cleaning power, durability, and versatility. They’re perfect for wiping down tables, counters, and stainless steel appliances, leaving surfaces spotless and streak-free. Athletic and health facilities rely on microfiber for quick sweat absorption and equipment cleaning without damaging surfaces. Microfiber towels enhance guest experiences by delivering superior softness and efficiency for spa treatments, housekeeping, and bathroom maintenance. Cleaning professionals trust microfiber for its ability to trap dust, dirt, and bacteria, making it ideal for windows, floors, and delicate surfaces. Lightweight, reusable, and eco-friendly, microfiber is essential for high-performance cleaning.
What are some microfiber towels care tips?
- Use microfiber dry for polishing and dusting. Use slightly damp for cleaning.
- Wash in either cool water or warm water (approximately 105 degrees or less).
- Tumble dry low, air dry, or place in an extractor. Please make sure dryer has fully cooled off from previous load.
- ALWAYS wash colors separately.
- NEVER use bleach or fabric softener.
- NEVER iron.
- NEVER wash microfiber towels with other laundry, especially cotton terry towels. The lint from the other towels will stick to the microfiber and you will have a very hard time getting it off. To keep the wedges intact, it is best to wash microfibers in a full load to ensure less wear and tear.
What are some tips on terry towels and controlling lint?
- Soak new towels in several gallons of water, along with a cup of ammonia, and leave overnight. Wash the next day with a cup of distilled vinegar and a cup of detergent.
- Fully dry the towels after the first few washings to collect the excess lint. Empty the lint trap after every load.
- Never use bleach. Bleach breaks down the cotton fibers, resulting in lint.
- Avoid washing old towels with new towels.
- Avoid washing window towels, detail towels and body towels together.
- Don’t use fabric softener.
- Use hot water for the first few washings. It will help to break in the towels more quickly. If hot water is not available, bring the towels to a Laundromat or commercial laundry where they can be washed for a minimum of 8 minutes with a water temperature greater than 168 degrees.
- Use fresh water each laundry load, because reusing water will retain lint.
- Darker colors take longer to break in then lighter colors or white.
- Add 1 cup of distilled vinegar once a week. The vinegar will help to remove musty damp smells, and wax build up from the towel.
- By increasing the alkalinity of the water, you can also help to open the fibers and diminish the sizing during the break-in period.
