Proper care of long bath towels can significantly extend their lifespan and maintain their softness and absorbency. It is recommended to wash the towels before first use to remove any manufacturing residues and to set the color. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the towel's absorbency. Wash towels in warm water and tumble dry on a low setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain softness. Avoid overloading the washing machine, as this can cause excessive wear. For best results, follow any specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer.
