Towels are an essential household item and all of us have them. They are found in our bathrooms and kitchens in various sizes, colours, and materials. We use them for everything, from drying our face and body and removing our makeup to drying the dishes and cleaning spills. Such a frequently used household item must be bought with care so follow our guide to buy towels of great quality.
Material
Finding the best quality towels requires a keen and observant eye. The very first thing that distinguishes a good quality towel from a cheap one is the material. Most towels are made from standard cotton which works fine but looks for Turkish cotton which has longer fibres. Cotton with longer fibres and dense loops of threads absorb more water and give that soft, warm feeling we all love.
If you are looking for luxurious towels with than stain smooth feel and better absorbance, then go for towels made of Egyptian cotton. These have longer threads that easily absorb huge amounts of water. As a result, these towels are ultra-soft and fluffy. These are mostly used by luxury hotels and spas.
What Type of Cotton?
The next thing that you should be looking for in towels is whether it is made of 100% combed cotton or not. Check the label, if it says the towel has 100% combed cotton, take it. Combed cotton means that cotton has been combed thoroughly to get rid of shorter threads leaving only the long, more absorbent fibres. This ensures that the towel will stay strongly woven and will not become rough over time.
Weight
When you go towel shopping, don’t just examine it from afar. Take it off the shelf and take a closer look. The very first thing to be noticed is the weight of the towel. Heavier towels tend to be more valuable as they have more fibres and hence, they are more absorbent and softer. Also, look at the surface of the towels to see if you can see the base of the fabric. If you can, don’t buy it. The threads in such towels are not woven tightly and do not absorb much water.
If you want to find high-quality towels with a little extra something, Custom Prints & Apparels is the best place to do so. We personalize your towels by printing whatever you desire. On top of that, our customised towels make excellent presents for your loved ones if you’re looking for door gifts.
