Bath Towels

How to choose the right Commercial Bath Towels

• Match towel weight (GSM) to your operation, using lighter 400-500 GSM for quick-dry gym and pool areas and heavier 550-700 GSM for premium guest bathrooms.
• Decide between 100% cotton for maximum softness or cotton-rich blends for added durability and faster drying in busy laundries.
• Select sizes and towel types based on your room standards, including guest towels, hand towels, bath towels, bath mats and face cloths.
• Choose colours that fit your brand, from classic hotel white to darker spa tones that better hide marks between washes.
• Plan stock levels so each room or locker area has a full rotation set, reducing wear and ensuring constant availability.
• Confirm that your chosen towels are compatible with your laundry temperatures, detergents and bleaching processes.

Care and maintenance

• Wash new towels before first use to open the fibres and improve absorbency and softness.
• Avoid fabric softeners and heavy conditioners, which can coat fibres and reduce absorbency over time.
• Tumble dry on medium heat to maintain loft and comfort while protecting fibres from excessive shrinkage.
• Use appropriate commercial detergents and, where required, bleach-safe products to maintain whiteness and hygiene.
• Inspect towels regularly for thinning, fraying or staining and replace promptly to protect your presentation standards.
• Store clean towels in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration and musty odours.
