Tips and Tricks

Cotton is a natural fibre that absorbs more than others, which is why towels are almost always made of pure cotton.

Sometimes it’s blended with other fibres to give the towel a different texture.

The unit of measurement for the thickness of a towel is grams per square metre (GSM).

At Simons, we offer a wide range of towels to meet your needs:
the lightest weigh 400 GSM, while the heaviest can weigh up to 800 GSM.

A bulky towel will certainly be cosy, but it will take up more space in the washer
and will also take longer to dry. 

Towels made in Canada,
Turkey, and Portugal are known
for their superior quality.  

In fact, these countries have succeeded in developing

For durable and high-quality towels. 

This is why, at Simons, we are proud to collaborate with these countries 
to make our towels!

Wash your towels before using them for the first time.
During the first few washes, you can dilute
1/4 to 1/2 a cup of white vinegar in the water
to help the colours set. 

Always wash towels in warm water
without adding bleach or fabric softener. 

Bright and dark colours should be washed separately
until the excess lint disappears.

Certain colours may continue to bleed after several washes. 

Clean the lint trap before you begin drying.

It’s normal for certain high-quality towels to produce lint.
Sometimes, it can take up to 10 washes for this to stop. 

Tumble dry towels on low heat to minimize shrinkage
and to make them soft.

• Cut pulled threads off easily with scissors.

• Fabric softeners tend to reduce the absorbency of your towels.

• Certain toothpastes can discolour your towels, so it’s best to avoid
using your towels to clean your sink.
