How to Clean and Care for a Heavy Towel

Quick answer

Wash your FRAMA Heavy Towel in cool or warm water with a mild detergent, then tumble dry on low or line dry to maintain its natural absorbency and texture.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Step 1: Pre-treat stains immediately: Blot fresh stains with a damp cloth and a drop of mild detergent. Avoid rubbing, which can push the stain deeper into the hemp-cotton weave. Check for stains before washing; dried stains are much harder to remove.
2. Step 2: Wash on a gentle cycle with cool or warm water: Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent (no bleach or fabric softener). Set your machine to a gentle or delicate cycle with cool or warm water (max 104°F / 40°C). Fabric softener coats the fibers and reduces absorbency. Wash dark and light towels separately to avoid color transfer.
3. Step 3: Tumble dry on low or line dry: Dry on low heat in the machine or hang the towel flat on a drying rack. High heat can shrink or stiffen the hemp fibers. Remove the towel while slightly damp to avoid over-drying. If using a dryer, add a clean tennis ball to fluff the towel and restore softness.
