I’m really loving my SSI Microfibe Beachtowel. The compact size, vibrant red color, and lightweight material have all been a wins in my books. However, my only complaint is that the mesh pockets inside the case sometimes comes apart after many washes. How do you handle the maintenance of this product?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your feedback on our SSI Microfibre Beachtowel. We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying its compact size, vibrant red color, and lightweight material. We understand your concern regarding the mesh pockets coming apart after many washes. To maintain the mesh pockets, we recommend washing them gently in cold water and air-drying them instead of putting them in the dryer. This should help extend the life of the pockets. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your customer feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements.

Emily Low –
Can you use the SSI Microfibe Beachtowel for camping?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out, Emily. The SSI Microfibre Beachtowel is a versatile and quick-drying product that can be used in various settings, including camping. However, please consider the towel’s size (150cm x 75cm) before taking it on a camping trip. It might be compact enough for a backpack but may not be the largest option for sharing with friends or family. Nevertheless, it’s a great addition to any camping gear, and its microfibre material will keep you dry and happy.
Matthew Tan –
This microfibe beach towel has become my new favorite accessory for the beach. How durable do you think this towel will be after multiple washes?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for our SSI Microfibre Beachtowel, Matthew! We’re confident in the durability of our microfibre towels. After multiple washes, our microfibre weaves retain their softness and absorbency. In fact, we’ve put our towels through rigorous testing to ensure they withstand up to 50 washes without any significant degradation. That being said, we recommend gentle wash cycles and line-drying to extend the lifespan of your towel even further.

Would you like more information on these products or have any other questions?

Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your question about the mesh pockets in the SSI Microfibre Beachtowel case. We’re happy to help you out.

Is SSI producing the softest microfibe material for towels?
Junhao Lo –
Thanks for your question, Daniel! Our SSI Microfibre Beachtowel is known for its ultra-soft microfibre material. It’s designed to provide excellent absorbency and a plush, comfortable touch. While softness can be subjective, many of our customers have praised the SSI Microfibre Beachtowel for its gentle feel. If you’re looking for an even softer option, you might consider our SSI Supreme Microfibre Beachtowel, which features an even finer weave for an even softer experience. Nevertheless, I’d be happy to hear more about your experience with our product!

Katherine Sim –
Can you possibly make the microfiber material used softer for your customers to prevent scratches or skin irritation?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review of the SSI Microfibre Beachtowel, Katherine. We really appreciate your feedback and apologize if the current microfiber material is causing any discomfort. We’re more than happy to consider suggestions from valued customers like you. Our design team will take your comment into consideration for future product developments. For now, we recommend washing the towel before use, as this may help soften the microfiber. If you have any further concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us so we can assist you better.

Angela Sim –
No negative comments about this microfibe beach towel because I have loved it ever since I purchased it.
Jacqueline Lee –
How often do you have to wash this SSI Microfibe Beachtowel?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Jacqueline. Our SSI Microfibre Beachtowel is made from quick-drying microfibre materials. As it’s designed for frequent use at the beach, we recommend washing it after every 5-7 uses to maintain its absorbency and hygiene. This will also prevent any sun-damaged colors from bleeding. To make things easier, the towel can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and then air-dried or tumble-dried on a low heat setting.
Olivia Toh –
Purchasing a new microfibe beach towel was easier than ever thanks to great quality, and amazing price points – Now I can relax on the beach like I normally do, but with a lot less stress. What is your opinion on carrying one around your shoulders?
Junhao Lo –
We’re thrilled to hear that you found our SSI Microfibre Beachtowel to be great quality and a great value. Carrying a beach towel around your shoulders is indeed a convenient option, especially when traveling light. The microfibre material is lightweight and quick-drying, making it perfect for this purpose. Some of our customers also like to wear it around their shoulders as a scarf when relaxing on the beach or by the pool. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we’re glad we could help make your beach visits less stressful! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Laura Goh –
This SSI Microfibe Beachtowel has impressed me in so many ways. It’s compact and can be easily stowed away in my luggage when not in use. Could it be recommended for toddlers who lack hand-eye coordination?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our SSI Microfibre Beachtowel. We’re glad to hear that it’s compact and convenient for your luggage needs. Regarding its suitability for toddlers who lack hand-eye coordination, while our beach towel is made from a quick-drying and gentle material, we’d recommend extra supervision for young children when using it to avoid any accidents. Perhaps a slightly larger size, such as our 180cm x 90cm option (product ID 3160-2), might be more suitable for toddlers.
