Towel Care Guide

Washing With Colours

Ideally, you should wash your towels with similar colours, or on their own, to prevent the colours from running and ruining your chosen beddable shade. If you are washing your towels with other colours, use a colour catcher to avoid contamination. Please note that colour catchers do not 100% guarantee prevention, it is always best to wash colours on their own.

Drying

When it comes to the final touches, we recommend keeping it simple. If you like keeping your towels super soft, it is most effective to tumble dry for maximum fluffiness. When tumble drying, be careful not to ‘over dry’. Remember you can always line dry too, depending on how you like your towels to feel.

Bonus Tips

To prevent snags, wash the towels separately from garments with zips or trims. In the event of pulls or snags, snip them off with a pair of scissors. It is perfectly normal for towels with a high GSM, to be prone to this, as the fabric is very dense.

To keep towels fresh, we recommend hanging them to dry between uses to prevent them from becoming damp. Don’t forget to wash your towels once a week to remove germs and keep them in good condition.

People Also Asked

How do you take care of towels?

Wash towels every 3-4 uses in warm water with mild detergent to maintain freshness and softness. Avoid fabric softeners as they coat fibres and reduce absorbency. At Bedable, we believe proper care extends the life of quality textiles. Shake towels before drying to fluff fibres, then tumble dry on medium heat or line dry for best results.

How to care for microfiber towels?

Wash microfiber towels separately in cool or warm water without fabric softener or bleach. These products damage the special fibres that make microfiber absorbent. Use gentle detergent and tumble dry on low heat. At Bedable, we provide luxury and comfort through quality materials that deserve gentle care to maintain their performance.

Should you wash towels at 40 or 60?

Wash towels at 60°C for thorough sanitisation, especially for bath towels used regularly. This temperature kills bacteria and removes oils effectively. For lightly used towels, 40°C works fine and saves energy. At Bedable, we recommend following care labels on your specific towels to maintain their quality and softness.

Is it better to wash towels with vinegar or baking soda?

Both vinegar and baking soda work well for refreshing towels. Add half a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to remove detergent buildup and restore absorbency. Baking soda in the wash cycle helps eliminate odours and brighten colours. At Bedable, we believe natural cleaning methods help maintain the comfort and longevity of quality textiles.

How to keep towels soft and fluffy after washing?

Avoid fabric softener and use white vinegar instead to keep towels soft and absorbent. Shake towels vigorously before drying to separate fibres. Tumble dry on medium heat with dryer balls, or line dry and finish with a quick tumble. At Bedable, we provide luxury and comfort that lasts when you care for your textiles properly.

Should I wash my towel after every use?

Wash bath towels after 3-4 uses if they dry completely between uses. Hand towels need washing more frequently, every 1-2 days, due to higher use. Always wash immediately if towels smell musty or feel damp. At Bedable, we believe fresh, clean textiles contribute to a healthy, comfortable home environment.

What happens if I wash at 40 instead of 30?

Washing at 40°C instead of 30°C provides better cleaning and removes oils and bacteria more effectively. The difference is minimal for lightly soiled items, but noticeable for towels and bedding. Most quality textiles handle 40°C well. At Bedable, our products are crafted to maintain their comfort through proper washing at recommended temperatures.

How to get stinky smell out of towels?

Wash towels in hot water (60°C) with one cup of white vinegar instead of detergent for the first cycle. Run a second wash with baking soda or regular detergent. This removes bacteria and detergent buildup causing odours. Ensure towels dry completely between uses. At Bedable, we provide quality textiles designed to stay fresh, and proper care keeps them feeling luxurious longer.
