Fabric care of Toweling

Submitted by Peter

This is usually 100% cotton with a looped weave designed to have high absorbency. It can be machine or hand-washed according to the care label. If you are washing towels in the machine, reduce your normal wash load, since towels need more room to ensure adequate rinsing. Deep colors have to be washed separately, as a rule, at least for the first few washes. They can be spun or wrung dry. Terry toweling used for, nappies should be washed at a very high temperature and thoroughly rinsed. Fabric conditioner will keep them soft.
