Failure Threat Matrix: Coyuchi Cloud Loom Organic Bath Towel

  • Pulled or snagged terry loops
    Risk: Medium
    Snip pulled loops at the base with sharp scissors. The woven core prevents the fabric from unravelling.
  • Decreased absorbency
    Risk: Medium (if washed incorrectly)
    Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets which coat fibers in wax. Wash with vinegar periodically if detergent buildup occurs.

Failure Threat Matrix: L.L.Bean Premium Egyptian Cotton Bath Towel

  • Hem fraying
    Risk: High (End of life)
    Wash on gentle cycle, avoid overloading machine.
  • Loss of absorbency
    Risk: Medium
    Avoid fabric softeners, which coat the cotton fibers and reduce water absorption.
  • Discoloration/Bleaching
    Risk: Medium
    Avoid contact with cosmetics containing benzoyl peroxide or household bleach.
