You just bought your first Turkish bath towel, a Peshtemal. Now you are wondering how often you should wash your new towel.
Most Turkish Peshtemal towels are made from cotton or a mixed blend of yarns. They are hand loomed and already washed and ironed beforehand. You should follow the wash instructions they come with. If, for some reason, your towel does not have the wash instructions and you are not sure about the blend of the yarn, it is safe to wash them with like colors with lukewarm water.
Turkish Peshtemal towels are one of the most eco-friendly products that can be found on the market. They absorb a lot of water and you will be surprised how fast they dry. If you are using a drier to dry your towel then use a low setting. They dry fast. If you are living in a hot climate you can line dry your towels easily.
