Looking After Your Malloo
We want your Malloo towel to travel with you for years to come. With the right care, Turkish peshtemal cotton only gets softer, more absorbent, and better with time.
Follow the simple steps below to keep yours looking and feeling its best.
First Things First
Your Malloo towel will work straight out of the pack, but a couple of initial washes will help kick-start absorbency and soften the natural cotton fibres.
Before first use:
-
Wash on a cold or warm cycle
-
Use a mild detergent
-
Avoid fabric softener
This first wash helps remove any natural waxes from the cotton and prepares the towel for regular use.
Good Things Take Time
Peshtemal cotton improves with use. Over the first few washes, you’ll notice your towel becoming:
-
Softer to the touch
-
More absorbent
-
More relaxed in texture
Optimal absorbency usually develops after a few wash-dry cycles, so hang tight — it’s part of the process.
A Note on Absorbency
Because peshtemal towels are flat-woven and lightweight, they don’t feel thick like traditional towels — but don’t be fooled. Once broken in, they’re highly absorbent and far quicker to dry.
With simple care, your Malloo towel will stay with you through beach days, road trips, and everything in between — getting better every step of the way.
