Failure Threat Matrix[1,2]
| Failure Mode | Likelihood | Est. Onset | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edge fraying | High (at end of life) | Random | Wash on gentle cycle and avoid overloading the washing machine. Trim loose threads immediately to prevent unraveling. |
| Loss of absorbency | Medium | Random | Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets, which coat the cotton fibers in residue. Strip towels occasionally with white vinegar. |
| Discoloration / Bleach spots | Low | Random | Avoid contact with skincare products containing benzoyl peroxide or household cleaners containing bleach. |
