Product Information
Full details
The Mitre Essentials Nova Hand Towel is designed specifically for hospitality professionals, including hotel managers, guesthouse owners, and B&B operators who require durable, high-performance textiles. Its primary benefit is its commercial-grade construction, which ensures long-lasting softness and high absorbency even after repeated industrial laundering. However, users should note that the towel requires specific care regarding detergents—specifically the avoidance of optical brightening agents—to preserve its vibrant red color and structural integrity over time.

No, you must avoid using bleach as it will damage the fabric and cause the red color to fade or streak.
How do I maintain the softness of the towel?
The best way to maintain softness is to tumble dry the towels at a high heat setting, which helps re-fluff the cotton fibers.

Troubleshooting
Towel feels less absorbent after multiple washes
Ensure that you are not using softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce water intake. Switch to a standard detergent and ensure tumble drying is performed on a high heat setting.
Color appears to be fading prematurely
Check your laundry detergent ingredients. If you are using a product containing optical brightening agents (OBAs), discontinue use immediately as these agents strip color from dyed fabrics.
Fabric edges look frayed
While the chevron header is reinforced for commercial use, check for mechanical obstructions or sharp edges in your tumble dryer that may be catching the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nova Hand Towels, follow these maintenance instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius to ensure thorough hygiene.
- Detergents: Do not use soap powders or liquids that contain optical brightening agents (OBAs), as these can degrade the fibers and alter the red coloration.
- Bleach: Strictly avoid the use of bleach during the washing cycle.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a high heat setting; this practice is recommended to "fluff" the fibers, effectively maintaining the towel's inherent softness and peak absorbency.
- Storage: Fold neatly after drying to maintain the shape of the chevron header bar.
