Tips for Washing and Caring For Your Egyptian Cotton Towels

    Egyptian cotton is regarded as one of the greatest materials in the world for making towels and bed linen, and since its extremely fine fibers form incredibly soft textiles, it must be treated with care to guarantee it feels great to wash after wash.

    Here, we'll debunk some myths and clear the air about how to care for your Egyptian towels wholesale.

    Does fabric conditioner soften my towels?

    "But surely this washes off," you may think. The simple answer is no. The conditioner is goopy and can block the area between towel fibers and yarns during washing. While the great majority of fabric softener is washed away, a trace amount remains with each wash. This accumulates over time and can cause your towels to become stiff and scratchy. Furthermore, conditioner is known to break down cotton fibers, thereby negating the benefits of using an Egyptian cotton fiber towel in the first place.

    Why should I refrain from using optical brighteners?

    Some laundry detergents contain optical brighteners, which modify the color of your towels, producing an optical illusion that hides stains. This may not be an issue with white towels, but it will be the end of the road for your color-dyed towels.

    What temperature should I use to launder my towels?

    Follow the washing directions on the care label at all times. This will keep your towel feeling like new for a longer period. The higher the temperature or the harsher the cycle, the more agitation the towels experience during laundry, which can cause the fibers to freeze up and make the towel inflexible - in other words, cleaning on high heat shrivels towels.

    Furthermore, because modern detergents are so effective at keeping things clean, it isn't necessary to blast them at high temperatures to destroy bacteria.
