Turkish towels (peshtemals) are lightweight, quick-drying, and become softer with every wash. Follow these simple steps to keep them absorbent and fresh.

Washing

• Temperature: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors.
• Detergent: Mild liquid detergent; no bleach.
• Before first use: Wash once if not pre-washed.

Drying

• Best option: Line-dry naturally.
• Iron: Low setting only.

What to Avoid

• Fabric softener: Reduces absorbency—skip it.
• Chlorine bleach: Weakens fibers and fades colors.
