FAQs

What does 'zero twist' mean for a towel?

Zero twist refers to the manufacturing process where the cotton yarns are not twisted. This results in a softer, more absorbent, and lighter towel compared to traditional twisted yarn towels.

Is 450gsm a good weight for a towel?

450gsm is considered a medium-weight towel. It strikes a good balance between being absorbent and lightweight, while also allowing for quick drying, making it versatile for various needs.

How do I maintain the absorbency of my Biba towel?

To maintain absorbency, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can leave a residue on the cotton fibers. Wash the towels regularly with a mild detergent and rinse them thoroughly.

Can I use bleach on this towel?

It is recommended not to use chlorine bleach, as it can damage the cotton fibers and affect the color. If stain removal is necessary, opt for a non-chlorine bleach.

What are the dimensions of the different sizes?

The towel is available in Hand Towel (50x75cm), Bath Towel (70x120cm), and Bath Sheet (90x140cm).

Why is my new towel shedding lint?

It's normal for new cotton towels, especially those with a zero twist construction, to shed some lint during the first few washes. This will decrease over time with regular washing and drying.

Are these towels suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the 100% cotton zero twist construction makes these towels exceptionally soft and gentle, making them a good choice for individuals with sensitive skin.

Troubleshooting

Towel feels rough or less soft after washing

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the cotton fibers and reduce softness and absorbency. Try adding a half cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help restore softness.

Towel is not drying as quickly as expected

Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded and that the towel is not excessively spun. Check for any lint buildup in the dryer or on the drying rack, and ensure adequate airflow when air drying.

Towel shows signs of pilling or snagging

Be careful around sharp objects, jewelry, or rough surfaces that could catch the fibers. If minor snags occur, try to trim them carefully with scissors rather than pulling.

Color appears faded after washing

Wash in cold water with colors and avoid direct sunlight for extended periods when air drying. Use detergents free from optical brighteners if possible.
