FAQs

What does '550 GSM' mean for my towel?

GSM stands for grams per square meter and is a measure of towel density. A 550 GSM rating indicates a thick, plush, and highly absorbent towel. This density contributes to a luxurious feel and excellent drying capabilities.

What is 'combed cotton'?

Combed cotton is cotton that has been treated to remove shorter fibers and impurities through a special combing process. This results in longer, stronger, and smoother cotton fibers, making the towels significantly softer, more durable, and more absorbent than standard cotton towels.

How should I wash my Lobster Creek towels?

Wash your towels at 40°C. For white towels, wash with similar light colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on medium heat if needed. Do not dry clean. Always ensure to wash dark or bright colors separately if you have other variants.

Can I use fabric softener with these towels?

While fabric softener can initially make towels feel softer, overuse can build up on cotton fibers, reducing their absorbency over time. We recommend using fabric softener sparingly or opting for white vinegar in the rinse cycle as a natural softener and residue remover.

Are these towels suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, being made from 100% combed cotton, these towels are naturally soft and gentle. Combed cotton's smoother fibers are less likely to irritate sensitive skin. Always wash new towels before first use to remove any manufacturing residues.

What sizes are available for these towels?

The Lobster Creek Combed Cotton Towel range includes several sizes to meet various needs: Face Cloths (30x30cm), Hand Towels (50x85cm), Bath Towels (70x125cm), and Bath Sheets (90x140cm).

Will the white color stay bright?

To maintain the brightness of your white towels, avoid washing them with colored items that might bleed dye. Always wash at 40°C and refrain from using bleach, which can yellow white fabrics over time. Consider using a laundry booster designed for whites if needed.

Troubleshooting

Towels feel stiff after washing

This can be caused by detergent buildup or over-drying. Use less detergent, consider adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle occasionally, and ensure you tumble dry on low heat, removing towels promptly when dry.

Towels are shedding a lot of lint

Initial linting is common with new towels, especially high-quality combed cotton. Wash new towels separately for the first few washes. Ensure your dryer's lint trap is clean before each cycle.

Towels are less absorbent over time

Excessive use of fabric softener can coat cotton fibers, reducing absorbency. Try washing your towels without softener for a few cycles, or add half a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle instead of softener to strip residue and restore absorbency.

Embroidered logo appears damaged

Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (40°C) and avoiding harsh chemicals or vigorous scrubbing directly on the embroidery. Air drying or low heat tumble drying is best for preserving intricate details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Your Lobster Creek Combed Cotton Towels are ready for use right out of the packaging. For optimal performance and longevity, always follow the care instructions.

First Use Preparation

It is recommended to wash new towels before their first use. This helps to set the fibers, reduce initial linting, and maximize absorbency. Wash separately to prevent any transfer of new dyes to other items.

Care Instructions

Proper care will ensure your towels remain soft, absorbent, and durable for years to come:

  • Washing: Wash at 40°C (104°F). For white towels, you can wash with similar light colors. Always wash dark or bright colors separately (though this product is white, it's a general guideline for the product line).
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach your towels. Bleach can damage the cotton fibers, reducing their softness and lifespan.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. High heat can damage cotton fibers and reduce softness over time. Remove promptly when dry to prevent over-drying and stiffness.
  • Ironing: Iron on medium heat if desired, but typically not necessary for towels.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean these towels.

Compatibility

These towels are compatible with standard washing machines and dryers. They are designed for everyday use in various environments, including:

  • Bathroom: Ideal for personal use and guest facilities.
  • Gym: Portable sizes (Hand Towel, Face Cloth) are great for workouts.
  • Beach: Larger sizes (Bath Towel, Bath Sheet) offer comfortable drying for poolside or seaside activities.

Following these simple care guidelines will help preserve the quality, softness, and absorbency of your Lobster Creek towels.
