How to Care for Your Geometry Towels: Tips to Keep Them Performing Beautifully

Geometry House towels aren’t just beautiful—they’re engineered to perform. Made from post-consumer recycled materials and crafted with Geoweave™ technology, these towels are designed to be super absorbent, ultra quick-drying and long-lasting. But even the most thoughtfully designed textiles need a little care to stay looking—and performing—at their best.

Whether you're new to Geometry or just want your favorite towels to last longer, here's everything you need to know about washing, drying and caring for them.

Washing Instructions: Gentle Is Best

To keep your Geometry towels in prime condition, few simple guidelines will go a long way when it’s time to wash.

·      Stick to mild detergent: Strong detergents can break down the fabric over time. A gentle, non-abrasive detergent will clean effectively without compromising the towel's integrity.

·      Wash in cold or warm water: Either temperature is safe, but avoid hot water which can wear down the fibers and impact absorbency.

·      No fabric softener: Fabric softeners can coat the fibers and diminish the towel’s ability to soak up water. Skip them altogether to preserve the towel’s performance.

·      Avoid mixing fabrics: Geometry recommends washing towels like fabrications. Mixing with cotton or other fabric types can lead to lint transfer, reducing the towel’s effectiveness and causing buildup over time.

·      Special care for the Waffle Bath Collection: For these plush, textured towels, be sure to wash only with like colors to maintain their crisp appearance and prevent bleeding or staining.

Drying Instructions: Keep It Low and Linty-Free

Drying may seem like an afterthought, but it plays a key role in keeping your towels looking and functioning like new.

·      Use low heat: High heat can damage the recycled fibers and cause shrinkage. A low heat setting is both safer and gentler.

·      Stick to like fabrications when drying: Just like with washing, drying with cotton or other fabrics can lead to lint sticking to your towel’s surface. This reduces the towel’s performance and makes them look less fresh.

·      No ironing required (or recommended): Geometry towels dry fast and smooth out beautifully on their own—no iron necessary. Applying heat directly could damage the structure.

A Quick-Drying Secret Weapon

One of the best parts about Geometry towels? They dry in record time. That means you can go longer between washes—saving water, energy and time. Unlike bulky cotton towels that stay damp for hours (or days!), Geometry towels hang dry quickly and are ready to use again with minimal effort.

This not only keeps your towels fresher longer, but also reduces mildew and odors, which are common issues with slower-drying fabrics—especially in more humid climates. So if you're trying to cut down on laundry without compromising cleanliness, Geometry towels are a game-changer.

What *Not* to Do: Avoid High Heat in the Kitchen

Geometry towels are hardworking, but they're not heatproof. While it may be tempting to use your stylish tea towel as a makeshift oven mitt, doing so can cause real damage.

·      Never use Geometry towels to retrieve hot pans or trays from the oven or stove. Towels made from post-consumer recycled materials are not designed to handle high heat and may melt or become damaged if exposed to direct contact with hot cookware or open flames.

·      Keep them away from oven doors, burners and cast iron pans, and instead use designated oven mitts or pot holders for hot tasks in the kitchen.

Extra Tips for Long-Lasting Towels

·      Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals. These can weaken the fabric and discolor your beautiful prints.

·      Hang dry when possible. Especially in warmer climates, air-drying can further extend the life of your towels.

·      Fold and store loosely. Tightly packed towels may not get enough air circulation, which can lead to mildew.
