My CoolTowel is not getting cold. What am I doing wrong?

It is usually one of two things. Either it is too wet — wring it out more firmly until it is damp but not dripping. Or it has not been snapped enough — snap it sharply in the air 4 to 5 times to activate the evaporation. The more airflow the towel gets, the colder it will be.

Why do I need to snap it? Can I just put it on wet?

The snap creates a burst of airflow across the fabric which kickstarts evaporation. Without it the towel just sits wet on your skin. The snap is what makes it cool rather than just damp.

Does the water temperature matter?

Cold water will give you a slightly quicker initial cool but any water works. Tap water, bottled water, a stream — it does not matter.

How do I know when it needs reactivating?

When it stops feeling cool to the touch and starts feeling just damp. At that point re-wet it, wring it out, and snap it again.

Does it work in humid weather?

Yes, but the cooling effect may last longer in dry climates due to faster evaporation.

Does CoolTowel contain any chemicals or synthetic cooling agents?

No. It cools purely through water evaporation. There are no added chemicals, gels, or cooling agents in the fabric.

Can I use it on my face?

Yes. The fabric is soft enough for use on the face and neck.

Is it safe for children?

Yes. Because it contains no chemicals it is safe for children of all ages. Younger children should be supervised as with any product involving water.

Can I use it if I have sensitive skin or eczema?

Yes. The fabric is gentle and chemical-free. If you have a severe skin condition we would recommend testing on a small area first.

Can I put it in the freezer to make it colder?

You can but it is not necessary and it may stiffen the fabric temporarily. It is designed to work with room temperature water.

How do I use it on my dog?

Wet it, wring it out, snap it, then drape it over your dog's back and neck area. You can also lay it flat for them to rest on. Most dogs take to it quickly especially after walks in the heat.

What if my dog tries to chew it?

The fabric is not toxic but CoolTowel is not designed to be chewed. Supervise your pet during use and remove it if they try to bite it.

Is it safe for cats?

Yes, though cats tend to be less receptive to it than dogs. The same method applies — damp, wrung out, snapped and placed gently on them.

What size dogs does it work best for?

It works across all sizes. For larger dogs you may want to use more than one or focus on the neck and back where cooling has the most effect.

How to wash it?

After every few uses or whenever it starts to feel less fresh and start to smell. Rinse it after each session and hang it to dry as a minimum.

Why can I not use fabric softener?

Fabric softener coats the fibres and reduces their ability to absorb and release water, which is exactly how CoolTowel creates its cooling effect. Avoid it entirely.

My CoolTowel has started to smell. What do I do?

This usually means it has been left damp in a bag for too long. Give it a proper machine wash in cold water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and hang it to air dry fully before storing.

Can I use it straight after washing?

Yes, once it is damp from washing you can use it immediately. Just wring it out and snap it.
