The Korean three-piece Supima towel listing gives a size of 40 × 86 cm per towel and recommends washing before first use. The useful question is not whether the new towel feels soft in its wrapper, but whether your normal laundry cycle matches its care instructions.
Prepare a separate first load
Read the label on the delivered towels. The official product guidance recommends separate washing, particularly separating white towels from coloured laundry. It also advises against fabric softener for this product.
That last point matters if your washing machine dispenses softener automatically. Check the dispenser and cycle settings before starting the towel load. Do not assume a default household programme excludes it.
| Stage | Product-specific preparation |
|---|---|
| Before washing | Separate the towels and check the care label |
| Detergent settings | Avoid adding fabric softener |
| After spinning | Take the towels out promptly and shake them out |
| Drying | Arrange shaded natural drying rather than direct sun or a tumble dryer |
The page explains that softener can affect the pile and absorbency. These directions concern this towel listing; they are not a universal care rule for every cotton fabric you own.
Leave space to dry them
Avoid leaving the wet towels bundled in the machine or a laundry basket. Shake them out after spinning and hang them with room around them.
If your only drying option is a tumble dryer, check the current care label before purchase rather than discovering the restriction after washing. Three towels also need more drying space than one, even when the unopened pack looks compact.
Keep the first-wash instructions with your laundry notes if several people share the washing machine. That makes the same care routine easier to repeat without relying on someone remembering a product-page warning.
