Towel buying guide

Before you start, What is GSM and why does it matter?

GSM, more commonly known as 'Grams per square metre' determines the quality of your towel.

Normally, the higher the GSM the thicker and more absorbent your towel will be, this is because there are more loops present than in lower GSM towels.

How to care for your towels

  • Always wash and dry your towels before using them, this will set the fabric and permit maximum absorbency.
  • We recommend that you machine wash your Star Linen towels at 40°C, washing above this can cause towels to shrink. We also suggest that you tumble dry your towels after washing to keep them soft and feeling new!
  • Fabric conditioners should be used sparingly, and not with every wash as they decrease your towels ability to absorb water.
  • Take measures to ensure that your towels don’t come into contact with any products containing traces of bleach, as this can stain and damage your towels.
  • Don’t be tempted to pull any loose threads out of cotton towels, instead, simply cut out any loops with a pair of scissors.
  • If you treat your towels with care, they can absorb more water, stay strong, dry quickly and retain that super-soft feeling.
