Quick answer
The DRAWBRIDGE Hand Towel is a 100% cotton accessory from Death Stranding 2. To keep it soft and lint-free, wash it separately on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low.
Why cotton hand towels need special care
Cotton is absorbent and durable, but new cotton towels often shed lint during the first few washes. This is normal and not a defect. The DRAWBRIDGE Hand Towel's dark logo and white fabric mean lint can be more visible if not managed properly.
The trade-off: cotton's softness and absorbency come with a break-in period. You can speed this up by following the care steps below, but skipping them may leave the towel feeling stiff or leaving fuzz on your hands.
Everyday uses beyond drying hands
While designed as a hand towel, its compact size (roughly 16 x 28 inches) makes it versatile. Use it as a guest towel, a gym towel, a decorative piece on a shelf or hook, or even a small blanket for your pet. The DRAWBRIDGE logo adds a subtle gaming-themed touch without being loud.
Just avoid using it for heavy-duty cleaning or with bleach, as that can damage the print and fibers.
Diagnosing common towel problems
- Symptom: Towel sheds lint: Likely cause: First-time wash or low-quality cotton. Corrective action: Wash alone on a gentle cycle with cold water. Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help set fibers and reduce lint. Dry on low heat or air dry. Repeat the vinegar rinse for the first 2-3 washes if lint persists.
- Symptom: Towel feels stiff after washing: Likely cause: Residue from detergent or fabric softener. Corrective action: Skip fabric softener—it coats cotton fibers and reduces absorbency. Use half the recommended detergent. Wash with warm water (not hot) and add baking soda to the wash cycle to soften. If stiffness continues, run a hot wash with no detergent, then a cold rinse.
- Symptom: Logo print fading or peeling: Likely cause: High heat or harsh chemicals. Corrective action: Always wash inside out in cold water. Never use bleach or iron directly on the logo. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. If the print is already damaged, stop using heat and switch to air drying only. When the print shows significant wear, the towel is still usable as a plain cloth but won't look display-worthy.
