Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions at loombrand.
Our Products
How do I wash my linens?
Gentle laundering is really the way to go. Machine wash in warm or cold with like colors. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Please do not use bleach, harsh detergents, dryer sheets or high heat. Pestemals get better with use and some need to be "broken in" by washing and drying them in a dryer on medium heat a few times. This make them softer and more absorbent.
What's the difference between a peshtamal, pestemal, hammam towel, turkish towels, etc?
All these terms refer to types of bath towels made in turkey. Pestemal, peshtamal & hammam towels are generally lighter and have a more beach-towel like appearance. Whereas turkish towels are generally thicker.
