It’s important, with 100% pure Turkish cotton, that you are delicate with the material in the wash. Wash with like colours, and in cold water. Do not wash your Turkish robe in hot water as hot water will cause shrinkage. If possible, and for best results, wash on the delicate cycle. Because Turkish cotton has extra long fibers, however, making it highly durable, you can wash your robe on the regular washing machine setting if needed.
But we always want what’s best for you!
Hanging your Turkish robe to dry is recommended over machine drying. If you need to machine dry, dry on a low heat. But please note there may be some shrinkage after machine drying.
Pure Turkish cotton is highly absorptive and becomes softer over time, with frequent use. So you can ditch your fabric softener altogether when washing your Turkish robe!

After the first wash, please allow for some shrinkage; however, if cared for properly in cold water, the shrinkage should be very minimal and not noticeable.
Given the artisanal make of our robes, please allow for slight natural variations in colour, size, and weave with each unique piece. However, if there are differences present, these differences are not usually noticeable.
