Dock & Bay | Poncho | Malibu Pink | 4-10 years

Do these types of towels actually dry you?
Other 'quick dry' towels that we've used in the past haven't been so effective. They tend to have quite a rough texture and feel horrible on any patches of dry skin. Then when you try to dry yourself down, the towel becomes slimy. Ew. That's why we've come in to completely change the game. Our towels feel totally different to what you might expect from a Quick Dry. In fact, we even get customers emailing in saying they aren't sure of the soft, smooth material and whether it'll be effective. We always reply with 'use the towel... trust us, you will love it!' and they do.
Dock & Bay towels are packed full of features which are simply down to how they are made. We can guarantee that they are quick-dry, super absorbent, smooth against the skin, sand-free (it brushes right off!), compact for travel and easy to care for. Not to mention they are made from 100% recycled materials.
But don't take it from us, you'll probably think we are biased. Try them yourself!

My towel is stained from use, what can I do?
Stains can always be tough on white but after a few cool washes, our towels are able to be washed on a higher heat up to 60 degrees. That, coupled with a good stain lifting powder, should leave your towels sparkling.

How do I care for my towel?
The essentials for taking care of your Dock & Bay are:
Cold machine wash (under 30 degrees). After the first few washes it's ok to turn up the heat.
The pouches are hand wash only and should not go in the washing machine.
Don't mix your white shirt or dress with a coloured towels (or coloured anything), it can lead to tears! We also recommend not washing our stripy towels and block colour towels in the same wash. Just to be on the safe side!
Try not to use fabric softener, as over time it can reduce the absorbency of the towel. Using fabric softener will not destroy your towel the first time it is used, but over time, it can degrade the performance of your product, and we want it to last as long as possible for you!
Do not bleach, or put near fire or hot implements.
Tumble drying is ok if you need to, but air-drying is kinder to our products.
We advise to wash your Dock & Bay products a few times before using them on Vinyl, eg. boats and yachts.

How do I get the towel back in it's pouch?
When the towel is new, we recommend that you follow the fold lines that are already in it, to use as a guide. Hopefully you'll pick up the technique quickly!
