You’ve bought your towels from Sesli and you’re absolutely satisfied with the quality! The only thing left to do is care for your towels so that the quality is maintained. Using the most efficient ways to clean your towels is important when it comes to providing towel hygiene, which is why we’ve compiled a few top tips for your convenience.
Washing Your Towels In A Washing Machine
We can all agree that washing machines make life all the better and easier! They get rid of hard work and improve the complexity of washing. But even with a washing machine, it’s important to keep the following tips in mind:
- Wash your towels after 3 to 5 uses – this is the best way to ensure they stay clean.
- Don’t wash your towels with your clothes. Instead, only wash your towels with other towels.
Because towels and clothes are made of different materials, washing the two together may cause damage to either.
- Putting more detergent than needed can damage your towels. In case you’ve added too
much detergent, you can add one cup of vinegar to the water during the rinse cycle to
remove any detergent residue.
- Wash your towels on the normal cycle and remember to always add fabric softener to keep
your towels fluffy.
- Hot water can sometimes damage fabric, so we don’t recommend it when washing your
towels.
Washing Coloured Towels
It’s important to read the care label first before washing your towels. But generally, coloured
towels should only be washed with other coloured towels. If bleaching is required, make sure you’re using a colour-safe bleach to avoid discolouration. Above all, coloured towels usually share the same rules as every other towel.
WASHING WHITE TOWELS
Once again, you should always pay attention to the care labels before washing your white towels. Avoid washing your white towels with coloured towels because colour transfer can easily happen when your coloured towels bleed into your whites. When it comes to bleaching white towels, you should only use non-chlorine bleach to avoid fabric damage.
Hot or Cold Water
Even though hot water is preferred to kill bacteria, we don’t recommend using hot water to wash towels, especially coloured towels. Coloured towels are generally made using delicate materials, and so it’s easy for hot water to damage their fabric and cause discolouration, which can affect their quality and therefore reduce their lifespan. When it comes to white towels, washing them essentially boils down to what is written on the care label. Even though we recommend warm to cold water when washing towels (seeing that warm water doesn’t harm coloured or white towels), it’s always best to first check the instructions on the label.
Finally, our list of tips should only be seen as recommendations, as they’re for your convenience and are not set in stone. Towels are personal items and should reflect their user’s style. Because towels can be used for years, especially when cared for, it’s safe to say that no one would want to use something for years that they don’t even like. As a wholesale manufacturer, Sesli provides a variety of towels, so finding a towel that matches your style should be easy.
