Looking After Your Layday

We want you to enjoy your towels for for many Summer's to come. To keep them looking great & feeling soft, follow the tips below.

Firsts Things First

Sure, your Layday will dry you fresh out of the pack, but 2 wash cycles straight up will kick-start a long term drying relationship.

1. For Wash #1, add 1/2 a cup of white vinegar to a warm machine cycle. This will strip the natural waxes from the yarn and allow optimum absorbency. No need to add any detergents.

2. While your towel is still wet from Wash #1, wash again on a warm cycle with 1/2 a cup of Bicarbonate Soda. This will tighten the weave and prevent the fabric from snagging. Again, no need to add any detergents to this cycle.

You're Layday's are now good to go!

Regular Care

For your standard care, we recommend:

  • Cold machine wash with like colours on a gentle cycle
  • Tumble dry on low
  • Avoid Fabric Softeners
  • Do not Bleach

Good things come to those who wait

Our towels get better with age, which is why optimal absorbency comes after 3-6 wash-dry cycles. The natural cotton fibres become softer and more absorbent with time as the natural waxes strip from the yarn. So hang tight, optimal absorbency is on it's way!

A note on Fringes

Our towels are fresh off the loom, so naturally there's going to be the odd horizontal yarn that comes loose. Don't stress that your towel is going to unravel - it's simply a few loose strands. To remove the lose thread, gently lift the thread and cut off with scissors. Please do not pull / snap the thread as this will damage the weave.
