Avoid using bleach or any softeners as these could react with the organic dye and cause discolouration.
Please also beware of facial creams, ointments, or any skincare products that treat acne or use chemicals like benzoyl peroxide as these can bleach out colour.Â
Be careful with pets or anything that might snag your blanket. These are handwoven, and while they are tightly loomed, they may snag on your pet's paws if they get too cozy.

What do GOTS and Oeko-Tex certified mean?
A lot of products that are labelled as "organic" can still be processed with toxic chemicals - this means that their fibres are grown organically, but still treated with toxins in the production phase.

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and Oeko-Tex certification means that the materials have no chemicals and toxins used any stage of the process—growth and production. They are the cleanest possible materials, which are as kind to humans, and the environment, as possible.
What is GSM?
This means grams per square metre and measures the quality of the towel. The higher the GSM, the more luxurious the terry towel and the more absorbent.

For traditional terry towels, the higher the GSM, the higher the quality of towel. All our traditional towels are 700GSM which means they have a luxurious plushness without taking too long to dry.
