The Top-Rated Techniques for Long-Lasting Turkish Towels
As Dervis Natural Textile, we hand weave each Turkish towel with love and using Premium Quality natural and legendary Turkish cotton. Our production method involves slow and sustainable techniques that have been passed down for generations. Caring for them the right way helps preserve their softness, absorbency, and beauty for years.
1. Wash Before First Use
All your towels are pre-washed. But we suggest giving your towel a gentle first wash to gain its full absorbency.
Machine wash cold or warm (30°C)
Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent
Avoid fabric softeners—they coat fibers and reduce absorbency.
2. Wash with Similar Textures & Colors
Turkish towels love to be with their own kinds of friends! Wash them with similar fabrics to prevent snags and keep colors vibrant.
3. Skip Harsh Chemicals
We don't recommend bleach and optical brighteners. These damage natural fibers and can fade handwoven patterns.
4. Air Dry for the Softest Finish
If you have a facility, please line-dry in the shade. It saves energy and keeps fibers strong.
If using a dryer, tumble dry low for a light fluff.
5. Handle Tassels with Care
If tassels tangle, gently comb them with your fingers after drying. This helps maintain their beautiful handmade look.
6. Store in a Dry Place
Avoid storing in damp areas to protect natural fibers from mildew.
Extra Tip:
After every use and wash your towel will get even softer and more absorbent—the beauty of true Turkish weaving.
🌿 By caring for your Dervis towel, you’re helping extend the life of a handmade, sustainable piece of textile art.
