How To Care For Your Towels

Wash care instructions for Towels

• We recommend that your new towel purchase should be washed before use.
• Always follow the washing instructions placed on the label of the towel.
• If there is a stray pulled loop on the towel, cut off with a pair of scissors. This will not cause any damage to the towel.
• Richard Haworth suggest using detergent specifically for coloured towels and to avoid brightening detergents as this will affect thte towel colour. 
• Richard Haworth Towels can be washed at 50ºC.
• A harsh texture to towels and bathrobes and an off-white colour are signs of bleach damage. It is best to avoid bleaching agents when washing towels.
• Bathroom detergents and some beauty products such as cleansers contain bleaching agents and may cause permanent discolouration to your towel.
• Washing too hot can cause the bars on the towels to shrink.
• Fabric conditioner will reduce the absorbency of the towel, as it coats the yarn of the towel making it less efficient.
• Do not dry clean towels.
