Avoid fabric softener, it can create a thin film around the terry cloth and impair the ability to absorb water.
Tumble dry on medium heat if you want a soft and fluffy towel. If you prefer a more rough feeling, we recommend hang drying.
Avoid contact with any bleach as it may cause stains of discoloration (bleach may be present in e.g. toothpaste and soap)
