To store cooling towels, wring out excess water, fold up and place in the package tube or a plastic zippered bag for safe keeping. Towels made with PVA will dry stiff. When removing, make sure to re-wet the towel before unfolding to avoid tearing of the PVA material. Both PVA and evaporative cooling towels can also be stored by hanging to dry. Before storing, check the towel for dirt and debris. If dirty, machine wash and hang to dry.
