Make your everyday life special. The story of a new type of towel
When you wake up, wash your face, wash your hands, and take a bath. Towels are one of the things that are indispensable in our lives. Be careful about your diet for your health, and be particular about your cosmetics for your skin. Comfort is also important for underwear and clothes.
So, what about towels that come into direct contact with your skin every day? Isn't it easy to forget its existence, which is so familiar to us? This time, we will focus on such towels and tell you about the appeal of high-quality towels.

A new type of towel that you won't find anywhere else
Shinko Towel is a towel factory located in Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture, which is the base for Senshu towel manufacturing. The biggest feature is that we manufacture towels using ``offset yarn,'' a yarn developed for knitting machines such as T-shirts and socks, using the highest quality Supima natural cotton as raw material. Offset yarn has excellent water absorption properties, making it ideal as a yarn for towels, but it is delicate and easily breaks, making it very difficult to handle. However, after much trial and error in pursuit of a ``high-quality towel,'' a new type of towel was born that achieved the best wiping experience by combining techniques with craftsmen.
This technology is unique and unique to Shinko Towel, making it a special towel that cannot be found with other towels.
This is the key point!
High water absorption
This is the most important feature for towels. If your skin is still sticky after wiping it, it means there's still water left in it, which means it's not absorbing any moisture. Shinko Towel is the most ideal towel that takes advantage of the natural water absorbency of natural cotton and the texture of a special double-layered offset yarn. With its water-absorbing power, it absorbs moisture the moment it touches your skin, reducing the time it takes to take a bath or dry your hair.
Very clean and safe
In the final process of towel manufacturing, we do not use any finishing softener, and instead wash away the glue and dirt, so you can use the freshly made towels right away. In addition, natural cypress oil is used for antibacterial and deodorizing treatment. It maintains cleanliness and prevents the smell of half-dried laundry. No need for fabric softener when washing.
Comfortable to the touch
You can feel the fluffy softness and comfort just by touching the towel. Even babies and people with sensitive skin will be satisfied with the gentle texture. Because it has excellent water absorption, there is no need to scrub it thoroughly, and it is gentle on the skin, so you will feel dry and comfortable from the moment it touches your skin. Shinko Towel's original brands, MAISON BLANC, Landwell Hotel, and faisdodo, take full advantage of this technology.

Recommended care instructions
To prolong the softness, comfort, and beauty of towels, ``We want you to wash your towels with just towels!'' This is the philosophy of our towel craftsmen.
The most ideal way to wash towels is to separate them into similar colors and wash with just the towels. Do not put it in a net or use fabric softener. When we think of laundry, we think of fabric softener, but fabric softener coats the fibers of towels with an oily film that reduces their water absorption.
When drying laundry, leave space between the laundry and dry it in a well-ventilated place, regardless of whether the sun is shining or not. The key to drying is to hold the short side (hem) of the towel and pat it twice! I shake it. Switch to the other side of the hem and get even more bang! The pile rises and creates a fluffy and soft finish.
After washing your face or after taking a bath, it is a time-consuming process that gently wraps your face and body for that perfect moment. Because it's something we use on a daily basis, being a little particular about its care will increase your daily satisfaction and enrich your soul.
Shinko Towel comes with a "daily care" manual. Please use this as a reference when washing.
Towel lifespan
Towels also have a limited lifespan. Depending on the frequency of use, we recommend replacing it approximately every six months to one year. After replacement, old towels can be used for various purposes such as car washing, gardening, rags, etc. even if they do not come in direct contact with the body. By being particular about its care, you will become attached to it. Because it's such a favorite towel, you'll want to keep using it forever. Shinko Towel will continue to be a part of your daily life.
For those who prefer firm, hard towels
It feels good when you scrub it. However, be careful as it can cause skin problems. When using a towel, it is better to use it with the idea of ``putting it against your skin and absorbing it'' rather than ``wiping it thoroughly'', as this will not cause any damage to your skin. If you prefer hard towels, we recommend the Landwell Hotel.
