Biba 450gsm Cotton Quick Drying Towel Bale - Grey

GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter.' It refers to the density and weight of the fabric. A higher GSM generally indicates a thicker, more absorbent, and potentially more luxurious towel, though factors like fiber type also play a role. 450gsm is a good balance for absorbency and quick drying.

Zero twist cotton refers to yarn that has not been twisted. This makes the fibers softer, more absorbent, and the resulting fabric lighter and quicker to dry compared to traditionally twisted yarns.

It is generally recommended to wash bath towels every 3-4 days or after every 3-4 uses to maintain hygiene and prevent bacterial growth. Hand towels may need more frequent washing.

It is not recommended to use fabric softener with these towels. Fabric softeners can coat the cotton fibers, reducing their absorbency and potentially making them less fluffy over time.

Washing new towels before their first use helps to remove any residual finishing chemicals from the manufacturing process and opens up the cotton fibers, which improves their softness and absorbency.

While some minimal shrinkage can occur with 100% cotton items after the first few washes, these towels are designed to minimize shrinkage when cared for according to the instructions (e.g., washing in moderate temperatures and tumble drying on low heat).

Information regarding warranty would typically be found on the retailer's website or the product packaging. Please refer to your purchase details for specific warranty information.

This can sometimes happen with new cotton. Ensure you are washing with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness. Repeat washes may further improve texture.

Over time, residue from detergents or fabric softeners can build up. Try washing the towels with a cup of white vinegar (in the rinse cycle, not the detergent compartment) to help strip away residue. Ensure you are not using too much detergent.

Wash in cold or lukewarm water instead of hot. Avoid direct sunlight when line drying, as UV rays can fade colors. Ensure you are washing with similar colored items.
