Why Turkish Towels?
About Turkish Cotton:
Turkish cotton is premium cotton that has extra long fiber and is grown in the small but productive Aegean region. Using longer fiber cotton in spinning yarn means fewer joins. Fewer joins results in stronger and smoother cotton threads. Turkish Cotton becomes even softer, fluffier, and more absorbent with successive washings.
Turkish Cotton vs. Egyptian Cotton
Egyptian Cotton is known for its absorbency, which is especially suited for apparel, shirting and sheets, however in towels too much absorbency means that a towel is still wet the next day after it is used. Also too absorbent towels tend to become wet in humid climates all by themselves.
Turkish Cotton provides the perfect balance between absorbency and softness, which makes it the best yarn to be used in towels.
Turkish Cotton, when used in towels, provides maximum absorbency and efficient drying.
Quality
Each and every towel made by The Turkish Towel Company is inspected three times to ensure the perfect towel:
- After weaving
- After dyeing
- After stitching
The Turkish Towel Company products are all made in the legendary towel-producing town of Denizli, Turkey, the world's largest center for woven terry production. Particular attention is paid to the stitching and finishing of all products. All the towels are double-stitched along the lengths to avoid fraying and for added stability. While a Turkish towel may cost more initially, in the long run it costs a lot less as it will easily outlast towels of inferior quality. All Turkish Towel Co. products are woven in its modern production facility with Swiss-made, computer-controlled weaving equipment.

Caring for Turkish Towels:
Washing:
Exposed to oil, soil, and germs; wash towels in hot (120°F) water with laundry detergent. If the towels are white, they should occasionally be washed with chlorine bleach. Cotton is a natural fiber and new towels will shed some loose fibers.
Avoid fabric softeners — they contain silicon that will make the towels water repellent.
Drying:
While tumble-drying will make the towel fluffy, do not overdo, as the heat from the dryer can damage the integrity of the cotton. We recommend using a lower heat setting occasionally or alternate between air and heat drying.
Absorbency:
To maximize the absorbency of a towel, add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle, once a month, to restore the towel to full absorbency. The vinegar removes any excess detergent, which can affect the towels' absorbency.
Pulled Threads:
As all Turkish Towel Company towels are woven, a pulled loop will not unravel the towel. If you catch the towel and pull a loop, cut off the pulled loop with a pair of scissors.
