How to Clean and Store Your TEAMM8 Physique Beach Towel

Quick Answer

To keep your TEAMM8 Physique Beach Towel in top condition, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, tumble dry on low, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Storage Guide

1. Shake Off Sand and Debris: Before washing, shake the towel outdoors to remove sand, dirt, or loose debris. This prevents grit from scratching the cotton fibers or the printed design during the wash cycle. A quick shake saves your washing machine from excess sand and keeps the towel's surface smooth.
2. Wash in Cold Water on a Gentle Cycle: Use cold water and a mild detergent. Hot water can shrink the cotton and fade the two-color design. A gentle cycle protects the 500gsm weave and the etching. Avoid bleach or fabric softener, as they can break down the fibers and dull the print. Cold water and gentle cycle are non-negotiable for preserving the towel's absorbency and appearance.
3. Tumble Dry on Low Heat or Air Dry: Dry the towel on a low heat setting in the dryer. High heat can shrink the cotton and damage the etching. For best results, remove the towel while it's still slightly damp and hang it flat to finish drying. Air drying is even gentler on the fibers and print. Overdrying on high heat is the fastest way to ruin the towel's softness and print quality.
4. Store in a Cool, Dry Place Away from Sunlight: Fold the towel neatly and store it in a closet or drawer. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays can fade the two-color design. A dry environment prevents mildew and keeps the cotton fresh. Sunlight is a major culprit for fading, so keep the towel out of prolonged direct light.
