Towel care

To keep your scooms Egyptian cotton towels in tip top condition:

  • Wash your towels at 40° before use and then once a week, or go greener at 30°.
  • Ideally wash your towels only with other towels and separate colours.
  • Don't add more detergent than required as this can clog up your machine and your towels.
  • Use fabric conditioner sparingly or ideally not at all. Fabric conditioners can decrease the absorbency and softness of your towels.
  • Tumble dry low/medium or line dry, then shake out.
  • Use our Wool Tumble Dryer Balls to reduce drying time and fluff your towels up naturally.
  • Love your scooms towel and it will love you.
