Turkish towels have grown incredibly popular in South Africa thanks to their luxurious feel, excellent absorbency, and eco-friendly qualities. Whether you use them as beach towels, bath towels, or elegant home décor, knowing how to properly wash Turkish towels is essential to preserving their unique features. At Bilo’s Bazaar, we believe in sustainable care that enhances the lifespan and beauty of your towels.
Why Proper Care Matters Turkish towels are known for their remarkable ability to get softer and more absorbent with each wash. However, improper care can lead to reduced lifespan, diminished softness, and decreased absorbency. Following correct washing methods ensures your Turkish towels stay luxurious, functional, and visually appealing.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Wash Turkish Towels
-
Sort by Colour
-
Always separate towels by similar colours to avoid colour bleeding.
-
Machine Wash in Cold Water
-
Wash your Turkish towels on a gentle cycle in cold water.
-
Cold water preserves the colours, fibres, and shape of your towels.
-
Avoid Fabric Softeners and Bleach
-
Fabric softeners coat fibres, reducing absorbency over time.

Bleach can weaken fibres and cause colours to fade.

Natural Softening

Skip ironing—Turkish towels naturally soften and smooth after washing.

Drying Your Turkish Towels
-
Air drying is highly recommended for maintaining softness and durability.

If tumble drying is necessary, use low heat to prevent damage.
Additional Tips for Long-lasting Turkish Towels
-
Avoid harsh detergents—opt for mild, eco-friendly detergents.

Occasionally, add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to naturally soften and remove any detergent residues.

Store towels in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and mildew.
