Tips To Maintain & Care for Kitchen Towels

To preserve the softness, color, and longevity of each fabric, follow these simple guidelines to keep your kitchen towels in pristine shape for years to come. Since many of our finest fabrics are 100% cotton or feature a blend of precious linens, it is important to:

• Wash with cool water: Excessive heat can damage the fiber integrity, softness, and material longevity. Hot water can also cause color fading and material shrinkage. 
• Use a mild detergent: Plain and simple soaps protect precious fibers. When it comes to cleaning high-end fabrics, you only need a small amount of quality soap to keep your fabrics in fresh condition.
• Avoid fabric softener and other chemicals: Softener does the opposite with fine towels because it coats the fibers in residue. Furthermore, avoid unnecessary chemicals such as bleach or stain removers that can negatively impact the texture and color.
• Dry with care: A low tumble dry or hang drying is the best option. Again, the high heat of standard drying cycles can melt towel fibers and reduce their absorbency and softness. 

What Sets Japanese Towels Apart From Others?

Methodical production practices are woven into the finest materials. We exclusively source purer materials and softer blends, and we prioritize elegant aesthetics that are worthy of any 5-star kitchen.

In the world of towel design, details make the difference. To accentuate softness, style, utility, and longevity, our dish towels are:
