Quick Answer
Machine wash your Reading Hot Dogs Beach Towel in cold water and tumble dry on low to keep the playful hot dog design looking fresh and the fabric soft.
Why Cold Water and Low Heat Matter
Hot water and high heat can fade the printed design and stiffen the cotton fibers over time. Cold water preserves the bright colors of the Reading Hot Dogs towel, while low heat prevents shrinkage and keeps the towel plush.
If you need to remove sunscreen or sand, a quick cold rinse before the wash cycle helps avoid grinding debris into the fabric.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fabric softener on my beach towel?
Avoid fabric softener. It coats the fibers and reduces absorbency, making the towel less effective at drying you off. Use a half cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle instead to naturally soften and remove odors.
How do I remove mildew smell from the towel?
Wash with hot water (if the towel is already faded) or warm water plus one cup of white vinegar. Then wash again with regular detergent. Dry completely on low heat or in direct sunlight to kill remaining spores. Never leave a damp towel in a pile or closed hamper—hang it to air dry first.
Should I wash the towel before first use?
Yes. A pre-wash removes loose fibers and any manufacturing residues. Wash alone on cold with a small amount of mild detergent, then tumble dry on low. This also helps the towel reach its full absorbency.
Can I bleach the towel?
No. Chlorine bleach will damage the printed hot dog design and weaken the cotton fibers. Use oxygen-based bleach (like OxiClean) sparingly for stain removal, but test on a hidden corner first.
