Follow the steps detailed below to get years of joyous use from your IKEUCHI ORGANIC towel.
IKEUCHI ORGANIC towels are ready to use straight after purchase. Our meticulous choice of materials, bleaching and dyeing methods create a product of such quality that it is at full absorbency from purchase, without the need for washing.
FABRIC SOFTENERS To maintain absorbency, please avoid using fabric softeners. Softeners work by coating fibers to create a soft feel after washing, however this coating inhibits the natural absorbency of the fibers.
WATER TEMPERATURE To avoid color fading or staining please use water cooler than 40℃. Washing at high temperature for extended periods may cause dyes to leach from fabric.
DRYING After removing from the washing machine and hanging in the sun, towels should ideally be moved into the shade before they are completely dry. This allows the temperature to normalize and prevents over drying which causes texture to deteriorate. Moisture levels will naturally stabilize to the level originally present maintaining organic cotton and bamboo rayon characteristics well.
HANGING After spin drying, take the damp towel by the ends and flap it several times to return air to the pile and maintain texture as it dries. Ideally hang over a horizontal pole and if possible avoid hanging by clothes pins to prevent deforming.
HANGING After use, flap your towel several times as you would after washing, and hang on a towel rack. Do not leave damp towels in a pile as they may fade or stain other items.
PILE CARE If pile loops get caught and pull free, cut them off at the base with sharp scissors. Cutting loose ends will prevent affecting other areas. Leaving loose threads dangling will cause it to unravel faster.
