Towels
To preserve the softness, fluffiness and absorbency of your towels, we recommend washing them at 40°C for regular care, or at 60°C when permitted by the care label.
Use a suitable detergent and limit the use of fabric softener, which can coat the fibres and gradually reduce their absorbency. To keep your towels soft and absorbent, an occasional rinse with white vinegar can be a natural alternative.
Choose a moderate spin cycle (around 1,000 to 1,200 rpm) to help preserve the cotton fibres.
When used at a moderate temperature, a tumble dryer helps restore your towels’ softness and fluffiness. If you prefer to air-dry them, make sure the linen is completely dry before storing it.
These care tips also apply to bath sheets, shower towels, bath towels, guest towels, washcloths and beach towels.
Bathrobes
Before using your bathrobe for the first time, we recommend washing it to soften the fibres and enhance its comfort.
Wash it at 40°C, always following the instructions on the care label. Use a gentle detergent and avoid overloading the drum. Moderate use of fabric softener helps preserve the quality of the fibres.
Tumble drying is possible at a moderate temperature if permitted by the care label. Air drying is also recommended to preserve the softness and fluffiness of your bathrobe over time.
Always make sure your bathrobe is completely dry before folding or storing it.
Bath mats
Subject to daily use and moisture, bath mats require regular care to preserve their comfort and absorbency.
Most of our bath mats can be washed at 40°C, following the instructions on their care label. Use a suitable detergent and avoid bleaching products on coloured models.
Air drying is recommended. If permitted by the care label, tumble drying at a moderate temperature is also possible.
Between uses, always allow your bath mat to dry completely to preserve its freshness and the quality of its fibres.
