Care Instructions
We want to make sure that you get the best out of your Hamam Square products, so here are our easy care instructions for keeping your Turkish towels in tip-top condition for years to come.
Washing Towels
FOR THE FIRST TIME: Before using for the first time, we recommend that you soak your hamam towel in cold water overnight before machine washing at 30°C and air-drying (warm tumble drying is also fine, but be careful to not over dry). By doing so, you’ll actually train the cotton fibres to become more absorbent while also making the towel even softer in the process.
SAY NO TO SOFTENER: There’s no need for fabric softener, in fact, we recommend staying away from softeners as they actually reduce the absorbency of our towels. To keep your towels super soft, add a splash of white household vinegar to a rinse cycle from time to time. You will find your Hamam Square towels become even softer with every wash.
PULLING A THREAD: Our towels are flat-woven, so if you pull a thread, simply cut off the pulled loop with scissors. Your towel will not be damaged or unravel.
Washing Throws
Keep your Hamam Square XL throws soft, absorbent, and long-lasting with these simple care steps:
Washing
- Machine wash at 30°C (cold or gentle cycle)
- Use a mild detergent
- Wash with similar colours
- Avoid overloading the machine (gives the throw space to rinse properly)
Avoid
- Bleach (damages natural fibres)
- Fabric softener (reduces absorbency)
- Harsh detergents
Drying
- Best: Air dry for longevity
- Or tumble dry on low heat only
Tip: Shake the throw out before drying to keep it soft and reduce creasing
Ironing
- Iron on low heat if you want a smoother look
- Or leave natural for a relaxed, textured finish
Pro Care Tip
Your 100% cotton throws are designed to get better over time—the fibres open up with washing, making them even softer and more absorbent with every use.
