Description
One towel for the whole world!
In Crete, “petseta-pestemali” or “makropetsa” were the names for the towels woven in the house-looms for the needs of housekeeping.
Pestemal for Turkish hamams, futah in France and Tunisia, sarong in Asia and Africa, among others.
Natural Greek cotton fibers soften with use and become delightfully absorbent. The towel is cool and allows the skin to breathe, it’s hypoallergenic and does not cause any irritation. No harmful chemicals are used for printing (stamp), as yarn dyeing is used instead, a process that achieves longevity of colors after the color penetrates into the thread.
CARE
Their care is quite simple. Here’s how to keep your towels looking and feeling awesome:
* Soak your towel in cool water overnight, before the first use. This really helps your towel become more absorbent.
* Machine wash in 40º C using a gentle cycle.
* Do not use chlorine bleach!
* Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets as these will make the fibers less absorbent.
* Cotton towels air dry super quickly. You can also tumble dry on low/medium.
* Steam iron on medium temperature.
* As a natural cotton effect, your towel may shrink by 5%.
* After 3-4 washes your towel will became even softer and more absorbent.
