Want to keep your beach babes looking their best?
Here's our hottest tips and tricks ☀
Oh my gosh, your beach towels need a wash
We all love a new relationship, but sometimes partners can come with a little baggage 🧳
Start this relationship off on the right foot by washing your brand new beach towels before use.
Once you've settled into a routine, wash every 3-4 uses (or more if they get stained with sunscreen or gelato!). This will keep them bright and beaming all summer long.

Just like you, your beach towels love to hang out in the sun ☀
Keep your bathing beauties beautiful by making sure you hang them out to dry in the sun after every use. The sun’s ultraviolet rays will take care of them for you by killing around 90% of the germs.
Shake and sunbake
Make sure you shake your beach towels to leave the sand by the shore and away from your car, home and washing machine 🤝

Just like you, your beach towels LOVE hanging out in the sun – but they also love taking a dip in cool water 🧼 🧺
Cold water:
- Reduces the likelihood of shrinkage
- Is better at removing stains
- Is gentle on the fabric
It's also a good idea to skip the fabric softner and use only the recommended amount of detergent.
Add vinegar
Vinegar is good for more than just adding flavour to your chips 🍟
Soak your beach towels in white vinegar if they start to smell, then put in the wash.
You can also add 1-2 cups of vinegar in the washing machine.
