Preserving the Color, Softness & Quality of Your Custom Colored Towels

At Globaltex Fine Linens, our custom colored towels are crafted to combine exceptional comfort, lasting quality, and distinctive design. Because these products are reactively dyed to achieve rich and vibrant colors, proper care is essential to preserve their appearance, softness, and performance over time. Following the recommended washing and drying instructions will help maintain color integrity, minimize shrinkage, and extend the life of your custom towels.

Care & Washing Instructions

To preserve the vibrant colors and premium quality of your custom colored towels, wash them at a maximum temperature of 40°C / 104°F.

Use a mild detergent that is free from bleach, chlorine-based agents, and optical brighteners. Harsh chemicals can affect the reactive dyes, weaken the fibers, and cause premature fading or discoloration.

For best results, wash towels with similar colors and avoid overloading the washing machine. This allows the towels to rinse thoroughly and helps maintain their softness, absorbency, and overall appearance.

Drying Guidelines

When using a tumble dryer, the drying temperature should never exceed 80°C / 176°F.

Please note that tumble drying may increase fabric shrinkage over time. To achieve the lowest possible shrinkage and the longest product lifespan, we recommend air drying whenever possible, either by hanging the towels or laying them flat in a well-ventilated area.

If tumble drying is necessary, use a controlled temperature setting and remove the towels promptly when the drying cycle is complete.

Pressing & Finishing

Ironing is generally not necessary for terry towels. If pressing is required for presentation purposes, use a low-temperature setting and avoid excessive pressure, particularly around any custom embroidery, decorative details, or personalized elements.

Avoid direct high heat on embroidered or customized areas to help maintain their original appearance and quality.

Additional Care Tips

  • Wash with similar colors to help maintain consistent color appearance.
  • Avoid bleach and optical brighteners, as these chemicals may damage the reactive dyes and cause fading or discoloration.
  • Do not overload the washer. Allow sufficient space for proper washing and rinsing.
  • Minimize high-heat drying, as excessive heat may increase shrinkage and reduce the lifespan of the towel.
  • Air dry whenever possible. Hanging or laying towels flat is recommended for minimum shrinkage and maximum durability.
  • Make sure towels are fully dry before folding or storing to prevent moisture buildup, odors, or mildew.
  • Take extra care with embroidered, monogrammed, or otherwise customized areas during washing, drying, and finishing.
