Sixpence Collection uses high quality cotton tea towels, chosen for durability and absorbency. Cotton tea towels are soft and easy to wash, but may shrink if not washed properly.

To help your gift recipient look after their tea towel, care instructions are also included with each tea towel.

Washing Your Personalised Tea Towel

Proper washing preserves the towel’s colour and fabric integrity.

• Use cold water: Hot water can cause colours to fade and fabric to shrink.

• Choose mild detergent: Harsh chemicals can damage prints and fibers.

• Avoid bleach: Bleach weakens fabric and dulls personalised printed designs.

  
  

Drying Tips

• Air dry when possible: Hanging your tea towel to dry preserves fabric strength and prevents shrinkage.

• Use a low heat setting in the dryer: If you prefer machine drying, select a gentle cycle with low heat.

• Avoid over-drying: Excessive heat can make the fabric brittle and reduce absorbency.

• Smooth out wrinkles while damp: This helps keep the towel looking neat without ironing.

  
  

Ironing and Storage

• Iron on the reverse side: Protects the printed design from heat damage.

• Fold the tea towel in thirds, then in half: Prevents creases and ready for next use.
