Turiform and what the brand covers
Short answer: Turiform is a Danish brand in home textiles, mainly towels and textiles for the bathroom. The range sits in the home category rather than clothing.
Home textiles
The range sits in the home category rather than clothing. These are items used every day in the bathroom and therefore need to withstand many washes. A towel goes in the machine far more often than most clothing, so this is where quality is truly tested over time. See Turiform.
Towels
The core is towels in different sizes and weights, from small guest towels to bath towels that wrap around the body. A heavier towel feels full and absorbs a lot, while a lighter one dries faster. Which suits you best depends on your bathroom and how quickly towels dry there. See bamboo towels.
Sizes for each purpose
Guest towels hang by the sink and are changed often. Regular towels are for face and hands, and bath towels are for after the shower. It is a good idea to have several of each, so there is always a clean one ready while the others are in the wash. Also consider the space on your rails.
For the bathroom
The category overlaps with the rest of the bathroom textiles, so colours and qualities can be combined across brands. That makes it easy to add a single missing piece without replacing everything. See home and homewear in bamboo for the rest of the range for the home.
Neutral colours
Home textiles usually come in colours that fit an existing bathroom, because they are rarely all replaced at once. White and light tones look clean, while darker colours hide marks from make up and hair dye better. Choose based on how the bathroom is used and who uses it every day.
Bamboo in towels
Bamboo viscose absorbs water well and feels soft against the skin. The fibres are smooth, so the towel feels even when you dry off. Many also find that the fabric stays soft if it is cared for properly. Above all, that means keeping fabric softener out of the wash.
Washing without softener
Towels lose absorbency from fabric softener regardless of brand, because the softening agents settle as a water repellent film. Wash at 40 degrees and use a suitable amount of detergent so no residue stays in the fabric. Detergent residue can also make a towel stiff. See washing and care.
Drying
Hang towels unfolded over a rail so they dry fully between uses and do not start to smell. A folded towel on a hook holds moisture for many hours. If you use a tumble dryer, choose low heat and take the towels out as soon as they are dry so the fibres do not harden.
When to replace them
A towel that no longer absorbs, or smells soon after washing, often has a film of softener or detergent. Try a wash with neither first. If that does not help, it is time for new ones. Replace several at once so they match each other in the bathroom.
