The Lido Towel is part of the Mascioni Hotel Collection that you see at many luxury hotels and inns and is only available in white. Made in Turkey, they are 100% Aegean Turkish cotton and are created to stay soft and richly absorbent over time. You’re sure to feel luxurious using these towels. The pique design at the hems is included in each item: Bath sheet, bath towel, hand towel and washcloth.
A collection that truly embodies tradition and is available for your enjoyment at home.
Washing
- Exposed to oil, soil, and germs; wash towels in warm water ( around body temperature is best) with laundry detergent – but use a little less detergent than suggested. If the towels are white, they should occasionally be washed with about 1/4 cup of peroxide per load.
- Cotton is a natural fiber and new towels will shed some loose fibers.
- Avoid fabric softeners—they contain silicon that will make the towels water repellent.
- To soften them, use 1 cup of WHITE vinegar about every 6 weeks. Run the towels through a regular washing cycle, then redo them with the vinegar instead of soap. The reason towels aren’t soft is because they have soap left in them.
Drying
While tumble drying will make the towel fluffy, do not overdo, as the heat from the dryer can damage the integrity of the cotton. We recommend using a lower heat setting occasionally or alternate between air and heat drying.
Absorbency
To maximize the absorbency of a towel, add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle, about every six weeks, to restore the towel to full absorbency. The vinegar removes any excess detergent, which can affect the towels’ absorbency.
Pulled Threads
As all our towels are woven, a pulled loop will not unravel the towel. If you catch the towel and pull a loop, cut off the pulled loop with a pair of scissors.
