Simple Care Tips to Keep the Colors Looking Vibrant

Whether they blend in with more colorful seasonal decor or serve as a retro accent, you’ll be happy to have these hand towels as part of your spring theme. And although the bright purple already stands out with a rich, velvety hue, you can keep it looking vibrant for seasons to come with just a few simple care tips:

First, if you’re using the machine, stick to cold water even though warm water is suggested. Cold will help keep the colors from bleeding, so that purple stays as bright as it should after every cycle. That said, running it through a warm cycle from time to time won’t ruin anything, and it can actually help with extra-greasy cleans when a deeper scrub is needed.

From there, it’s safe to use a non-chlorine bleach when needed, which will help the whites stay nice and fresh. Just stick to hang-drying or tumble-drying on low to avoid unnecessary shrinking or snagging in the threading. And as a bonus tip, skip the iron, no matter how much a wrinkle might bother you. A quick steam or a short tumble in the dryer should do the trick.
