How should I care for it?
After use, simply rinse the towel thoroughly with clean water, wring excess water from towel and place in the plastic pouch it came in. If the towel will be used again within a few days, place the pouch in the refrigerator until the next use. If the pouch will be stored for a while, leave it open and allow the towel to dry out completely inside the pouch. Once completely dry, close the top and store in a cool, dry area. To reactivate a dry towel, soak in HOT water until it becomes pliable (usually 2-3 minutes). DO NOT try to bend a dry towel as it may break. If you lose the original container, a one gallon zip lock bag works great for storage.
How do I clean it?
If the towel becomes soiled or needs to be cleaned, simply place it in the washing machine with your next load of clothes. DO NOT MACHINE DRY! If the towel has been stored damp and develops mildew or an odor, add 1 tablespoon bleach to 1 gallon of warm water and allow the towel to soak for an hour or two. Then, rinse thoroughly to remove any bleach residue. The towel can now be washed in the washing machine to remove any residual stains. It is now ready for use or storage.
Can I put it in the freezer?
NO! If you freeze the Ice Cold Towel and try to flex or bend it in the frozen state, it will break. It is fine to put them in ice-cold water or a cooler filled with ice though. Be sure to put the cooling towel in a bag to keep it from contacting the ice directly as the ice may freeze to the cooling towel and damage it.
What happens if it dries out?
To reactivate a dry towel, soak in HOT water over it until it becomes pliable. (usually 2-3 minutes) DO NOT try to bend a dry towel as it may break.
How long will it last?
This is actually 2 questions. The towel itself will last indefinitely with proper care. They are very rugged and most people will lose them before they tear them up. The cooling effect will last from 2-5 hours on average depending on the amount of moisture in the towel, the outside temperature, and the relative humidity.
Will it become less effective with age?
NO! As long as the towel is intact and has moisture in it, it will cool just like it did when it was new.
Can I cut it?
Yes, the towel can be cut to make 2 smaller towels. However, when you cut it, you reduce the surface area of the towel and the amount of moisture it can hold, which will affect the cooling ability of the now smaller towels.
I got a rash or red area when I used the towel. What happened?
While the PVA material is medically safe and non-allergenic, prolonged, uninterrupted use may cause redness or a mild rash. This is caused because the material is so absorptive that if it begins to starve for moisture, it can pull moisture and oil from your skin, resulting in redness or mild rash. The best solution is to make sure the towel has plenty of moisture in it and to take a break from using it for a few minutes every hour.
