“I have been exclusively using the regular sand cloud bath towels for years, so I’m really used to the thinner and super absorbent ones. I feel like this doesn’t absorb nearly as well (maybe it’ll improve?) and it is much heavier. But I love the look of it”
Hello Leia! We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the towel due to the lack of absorbency. We have sent you an email so that we can rectify this issue.
“These towels are so great we have decided that the whole family is getting Sand Cloud for Christmas. The colors tie in with any season. And actually dries the body. Gone through years of plush, non absorbent, heavy towels and we're finally free!”
“These towels are nice looking and feel plush, but even after washing several times I still come out covered in fuzzies. It's super obnoxious.
Anywho, I'm hoping they will hold up to the constant washing and eventually the pills will chill out because these towels were way too expensive not to be able to use!”
Hello Kelsey,
We're very sorry to hear about the issue with your towels.
We recommend soaking the towels in cold water for a few hours or overnight and hang drying them. Natural cotton needs to be "broken in", which allows the fibers to bloom, be softer and reach maximum absorbency with better performance. This will also help remove excess lint.
Succeeding washes: Gentle cycle on your washing machine and dry at a low heat on the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets as they gunk up the fibers making them less absorbent. And of course, avoid bleach!
Kindly try this remedy and please do let us know whether it's effective so that we can help you further.
Warm regards,
Cathy,
Sand Cloud.
“I love this towel so much. The colors are perfect earthy tones. I really want hand towels in this pattern. Would also love a version in tones of tan/brown. It's a great large size and luxuriously soft and cozy. The dots alternate and make for a delightful texture, and I think even though it has good weight it dries quicker than basic towels.”
“I have used the towel just as a bath towel (I'm not really a fan of beaches), and love the feel of it on my skin - soft and plushy. That it's beautiful to look at only adds to the value of this towel, I'd highly recommend it.”
