Among the most popular and often used, several varieties can be distinguished.

• Linen - a popular material, as it has a low cost and good performance characteristics. Linen is classified as a natural material, but not everyone will be comfortable using such products, since they are quite prickly and are best suited for massage.

3. The size. When buying a towel for a child, it is worth taking a product of the right size so that the baby can conveniently use it himself. The best option would be the white color of the product, which will make it possible to wash it using bleach to keep it clean and safe after use.

To keep your pool towel as good as new for as long as possible, you should be able to properly care for it. The washing, drying and ironing process will be different for different materials. If the swimmer uses microfiber towels, then wash the product after visiting the pool. If washing is done by hand, then you can use any means, while the water should be warm. For machine washing, you should not choose a temperature of more than 40 degrees, so that the products do not deteriorate. Detergents can be any, but not granular, otherwise the delicate structure of the fabric will start to deteriorate.

It is recommended to dry microfiber towels on a regular clothesline, without placing the product on a radiator or any other heating devices, as the structure of the material will begin to melt. The advantages of such towels include the absence of the need to iron the product, since the material does not wrinkle and does not change its shape. If you use the iron on a microfiber towel, it will ruin.

Caring for bath towels made of other materials is carried out by analogy: after swimming, it must be washed, then dried and ironed with high quality.
