NO SOFTENER AND OTHER CHEMICALS
Pure organic cotton are highly absorbent, chemical free and kind to your skin.

LINE DRY
Do not leave towel wet in the washing machine. Hang them to dry, lay flat to dry or move to the drier as soon as wash cycle is finished. We recommend air drying as Turkish towels air dry quickly, but you can Tumble Dry low heat in gentle cycle. Make sure they're completely dry before folding or piling them up.
IRON WITH STEAM
You may iron with steam to smooth out any unwanted wrinkles.
Untied fringe may looks like a problem. But don't worry just yet.
The fringe on our towels are all hand tied. They are very pretty and durable but occasionally can become untied. We recommend pulling on each fringe to tighten the knots before first wash and every once in a while thereafter in order to keep them intact. There is a simple process to fix untied fringes if they do become loose.
The fringes on Turkish towels are traditionally handcrafted and can easily be fixed by hand with the right technique. The following 4 steps will help you out.
- Separate the threads into two equal sections.
- Twist each section in a counter-clockwise direction.
- Twist both sections together in a clockwise direction.
- Knot tightly at the end.
