The beautifully striped, timeless hammam towels from Ottomania are made of very good quality muslin cotton, which makes them absorb moisture very well.
These lightweight towels are ideal as a beach towel or as a travel towel because they are large but still very small to fold.
The hammam towel dries quickly and is easy to wash. An ideal towel for the suitcase, backpack or beach bag.
This size, the XL, fits completely over a beach chair. But also ideal as a beach towel for two people or the whole family. Many people also use this size as a tablecloth or picnic blanket.
Maintenance
For washing hammam towels for the first time, tighten all the knots of the fringe extra well, so that they cannot come loose when washing.
Before using for the first time, put the hammam towel in COLD water for about 12 hours if possible. This is not necessary, but it benefits the firmness of the fibers, as well as moisture absorption. It will also shrink the cloth less. Then wash the hammam towel at 40 degrees.
Wash colored hammam towels separately or with similar colors the first time. The hammam towel can be washed at 60 degrees and can be tumble dried.
The use of fabric softener can cause hammam towels to absorb moisture less well. Therefore, limit the use of fabric softener or do not use it. Ironing reduces moisture absorption. That is why we advise not to iron hammam towels, unless they are not used as a towel.
