Towels and bathrobes
Marimekko’s bath textiles bring a spa-like atmosphere to your home with timeless prints. The collection includes towels for all kinds of bathing moments—from lightweight hamam towels to delightfully soft terry towels, along with bathrobes, slippers and makeup bags. Follow these care instructions to keep your bath textiles in great shape.
Before use
We recommend washing towels and bathrobes before their first use.
Washing
Check the proper washing method on the care label attached to the product or its packaging. To maintain the surface of towels and bathrobes, we recommend washing them in a full machine load. A partially filled machine can strain the surface of terry products. For smaller items, we recommend using a laundry bag.
Correct washing temperature
Refer to the care label for the recommended washing temperature. Always follow the suggested temperature, as colors may bleed at too low a temperature.
Bright colors
Strongly colored bath textiles may release some dye, especially during the first few washes. Wash these items with similar colors. Use a color-safe detergent that does not contain bleaching agents or optical brighteners.
Textile absorbency
The moisture absorbency of bath textiles improves with washing. Avoid using fabric softeners on bath textiles, as they may reduce the material's absorbency.
Drying
Most Marimekko bath textiles are dryer-safe. However, always check the care label for specific recommendations. Tumble drying helps restore softness, especially for terry products.
Loose fibers
Soft terry materials may shed fibers during the first few washes and uses. Tumble drying can help speed up the removal of loose fibers.
Terry loops
The soft and absorbent surface of woven terry material is made of loops of yarn. If a loop catches on something sharp or rough, it may cause a pulled thread. If this happens, avoid pulling the thread; instead, trim it to the same length as the other loops. This won’t affect the integrity of the terry fabric. To prevent pulls, be cautious with jewelry during drying and avoid washing terry products with items that have zippers or Velcro.
