Review on Turkish Cotton Peshtemal Washcloth Kitchen by Alicia Lopez

(SET of 8) Turkish cotton hand and face towels (my color choice is white). soft and become absorbent characteristic of cotton, so don't throw them away after a few washes. Simply wash first (no bleach!), use as usual, remember to avoid fabric softener (which coats the cotton and makes it less absorbent); Keep using/washing them as usual and they will eventually be a lot more absorbent than they were the first time : b. (To protect the fringes and prevent them from unraveling, I wash on a gentle cycle. No delicate fabrics, just a slow/medium wash.) Keep in mind that Turkish peshtemel are *much* thinner than traditional American towels! I adapt very easily, but if you already know I don't, it may take time to get used to it. I really like these hand/face towels. I read a previous review where a woman likes to use them as kitchen towels. What a great idea! I bought all white for our bathrooms which is perfect. However, knowing how I totally overuse and soil my kitchen towels (food, olive oil and +++ tomato soups), I would personally opt for a deep, light color for kitchen use instead. I am concerned about how the "whites" will hold up over time, but we have owned and used them multiple times a day for many months and they still look brand new! but they end up on the hanging hook, are space-saving, functional and dry quickly. Walking decor! :bDimensions: After multiple wash/dry cycles, each towel measures an impressive 24" x 33" (excluding fringes). These are hand/face sized towels. They will easily cover and dry a baby :D We also own a much larger bath/beach/tablecloth/cloak/universal pestemels, use them daily and proudly display them!
