However, for some types of towel, for example, the novelty or seemed towels, you have to be a little bit more careful. These types of towels often have additional features on the outside such as animal faces, buttons or similar items. For these types of towels, you should first of all turn them inside outs, so that the faces do not get bashed in during the wash cycle.

One important point is that you should always machine wash the towels before their first use, since this will remove any excess dye inherent in the material. It should also reduce the amount of color bleed in future washes, and prevent color bleeding into other items in the wash.

Since there are often a lot of colors in these types of towels, it is best to wash them at a lower temperature to protect the colors are little bit more. A wash cycle temperature of 40° or 30° is ideal. When you initially go to wash them, do not put any whites in the wash as the hooded towel is likely to color bleed during the cycle. Turning inside out will also protect any tapes or frills on the outside edges of the towel – since these are often the first thing is to wear out on traditional hooded towels.
Once you take them out of the wash cycle, turn the towel back the way it should be, and layout to try. Remember that these structures are only for themed towels, so turning them inside out is not necessarily if they are of the normal variety.

If you want your hooded towels to be as soft as possible, you should tumble dry them in a tumble dryer. This will give the towels the optimum fluffiness, and your kids will thank you for it!

Here are a few reasons why we love hooded towels so much:

• They look so cute!
When you are getting your 0 to 3 years old kid out of the bath, there’s nothing quite as adorable as seeing your loved one wrapped head to toe in a lion themed outfit!

• The kids love them
Whether you have got a toddler or older children, all kids seem to love hooded towels. Whereas before it was quite difficult to get children to have a wash the night before school, now things have changed and they actually look forward to being able to wear their favorite hooded towel after shower time.

• Adults love them too
Once you see the children enjoying their hooded towel so much, you will probably want to own one yourself. Once you do, you will find that they offer a function and versatility that normal towels do not provide.

• They are easy to wash
Hooded towels do not need any special considerations when it comes to watching, so you can just throw them in with the rest of your clothes to be washed, and wash and dry them as normal.

• They are unique
There are so many unique and interesting designs of hooded towels, and it feels great to know that you own something that very few other people have.

• They can be worn around the house
Many of my children use their hooded towel as a sort of hybrid dressing down when they are walking around the house. In fact, they probably use it more than a dressing gown. Hooded towels with a front tie are very versatile for this reason. So if you want a good hybrid garment to wear when you are relaxing about having just came out of the bath or shower, a hooded bath towel is a great thing to have.

• They are relatively inexpensive
For such a useful and versatile item, hooded tiles are surprisingly cheap. For something that lasts for many years, you will definitely get your money’s worth out of a hooded towel!

There are sure to be many other reasons why these items of deluxe towel-wear are great to own. The bottom line is that every home should have a set of hooded towels for each member of the family!

You can buy them from several places on the Internet, and some of these stores allow you select personalization options when you are purchasing. However, these online stores are often quite expensive when choosing each personalization, and if you are buying multiple towels at once the cost can quickly add up. Here are three ways you can personalize hooded towels yourselves, or you can take them as a suggestion to your tailor so that they can make the alterations for you:

1.) Attach shapes (appliqués) onto the back of the towel.

This is simple enough to do. If you have even a little bit of sewing experience, you should find this very straightforward pull off. Simply get your shapes, place them on the back of the towel, and use a zig zag stitch to hold the shape fast. Easy right?

2) Sew names onto the back of the hooded towel.

This is a great idea if your children tend to fight over everything! You can get personalized names on the towels and you can say goodbye to wash-based arguments. You can get sew on letters on many places on the Internet, here is one such good place to buy them from: http://easternlettering.net/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18

Alternatively, if you go to your local arts and crafts store they will have a wide selection of different styles for you to buy.

3) Apply lining tape onto the edges of the towel

This is a great final touch to add onto a towel, and it adds an element of uniqueness that you cannot find (cheaply) on the Internet. All you need to buy is the color of double folded Bias tape that you prefer. Then it is again a case of just sewing on the tape around the edges of the hood to finalize the look.
Remember that you don’t have to do all these things by yourself, you can easily take them to a tailor and he should be able to add them on to you a lot cheaper than you would have to pay if it you where to order that when buying over the net.
I hope you find this useful, and I hope you live near to a cheap tailor!
