๐Ÿงผ Care Tips for Long-Lasting Towels
Make your towels last longer and stay soft with these simple habits:

๐Ÿงบ Wash in warm water โ€” hot water can break down fibers
๐Ÿšซ Avoid fabric softeners โ€” they coat fibers and reduce absorbency
๐ŸŒฟ Use white vinegar occasionally โ€” removes buildup and softens naturally
โ˜€๏ธ Dry completely โ€” prevents mildew and odors
๐Ÿ”„ Rotate towels โ€” lets them air out between uses
