Our hamam towels are made from 100% cotton and only get better with proper care. With a few simple steps, you can preserve both their quality and feel for many years to come.
In short:
- Soak before first use
- Wash at 30–40 °C
- Avoid fabric softener
- Air dry whenever possible
Soak before first use
We recommend soaking your new hamam towels before using them for the first time.
Place them in cold water for 8–12 hours.
This helps the cotton fibers open up and naturally tighten, which provides:
- Better absorbency
- A softer feel against the skin
- Increased durability over time
After soaking, wash the towels according to the care instructions. They are now ready to use.
Washing
The towels can be washed at up to 60 °C, but we recommend machine washing at 30–40 °C to best preserve their quality over time.
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency.
Wash with similar colors.
Drying
The towels can be tumble dried, but we recommend air drying whenever possible.
Air drying is gentler on the fibers and helps the towels stay beautiful for longer.
Ironing
The towels can be ironed on medium heat, with or without steam, if you prefer a smoother look.
