Conventional cotton is very natural, but the way that it’s grown isn’t. Grown the other side of the world, organic cotton is better for the planet, and the industry tends to treat its farmers better, and use eco-friendly dyes, for coloured towels..
Organic cotton towel bales cost a little more, but they are far denser and softer. And as the fibres have not been treated with chemicals, they will last longer too.
Don’t use fabric conditioner, as it reduces absorbency.
Dip & Doze Towels are ethically made in soft luxury organic cotton, by people in a textile industry that has stretched back 190 years. Sold mostly in sets of four, in neutral colours to blend with any bathroom design.
The company says that after we scrub our skin dry after a shower or bath, lots of sweat, salt, sebum and body oils come off, so wash your towel every few uses (or more for eczema and similar skin conditions).
Bacteria also builds up easier in steamy bathrooms. After use, hang up (wash hand towels every 2 days or so).
If using towels to transport creatures to wildlife rescue shelters, remove tassels (they could tangle in paws and claws).
