Abyss & Habidecor Towel & Rug Care *We recommend cold or warm water wash. *Tumble Dry at low temperatures. *Always wash towels and rugs separately from other home textiles and garments. (Zippers, hooks, snaps, and velcro will pull). Do not wash towels and rugs together. *We recommend the use of liquid soap. *We recommend Le Blanc's Summer Verbena Towel Wash, or Original Floral Fusion Towel Wash. *Do not use detergents (i.e. Tide, All, Wisk, etc.) - they contain caustic chemicals that are harmful. Never use bleach, even on white towels and rugs. This weakens the fibers, and yellows the yarns. *Never vacuum. *Never use fabric softeners; they coat the cotton with a chemical that prevents water absorption. Do not dry clean. Do not iron. Certain cleaning and hygiene products contain ingredients which cause bleaching.Some of these include: blemish creams (i.e. Proactive), products containing alpha hydroxyl and fruit acid, hair coloring products, bathroom cleaners, and teeth whiteners.
