1、 Concept
A towel is a type of towel. Made from pure cotton yarn. There are two types of towels: yarn woven towels and thread woven towels. The height and density of the terry cloth are higher and denser than that of face towels and pillowcases, and its water absorption, storage, and warmth retention are better than other towels. Mainly used for wiping and covering the body after bathing, and also commonly used for covering the body to prevent coolness.
2、 Common sense
Most types of towels retain moisture between the yarns, while cotton towels directly absorb moisture into the fibers, making cotton towels more absorbent.
When choosing a bath towel, ensuring good quality depends on the thick and tightly woven coils to achieve maximum water absorption. The thicker the coil of a bath towel, the more yarn it is composed of, which naturally absorbs moisture from the body faster.
Some people prefer velvet bath towels. Velvet is made by trimming the yarn during the production process to make it shorter. Shorter coils have slightly lower water absorption, but as long as they absorb moisture instead of wiping back and forth, they will not significantly affect the overall performance of the towel.
A high-quality bath towel, if properly cared for, can last for ten years. Here are tips for washing and caring for cotton towels, so that you can enjoy the maximum comfort brought by cotton towels for a long time.
1. Follow the care label and do not use excessively hot water or dry towels.
To keep the towel soft, use half of the recommended amount of laundry detergent. Do not pour laundry detergent directly onto the towel. Because this may result in laundry detergent residue on the towel, reducing its softness. It is recommended to use neutral laundry detergent instead of chlorine containing laundry detergent with bleaching properties. Do not use fabric softeners frequently and avoid softeners containing resin, as their ingredients can leave wax coating on the towel and reduce water absorption.
2. Wash dark and light towels separately. When washing towels, do not use zippers, hooks, buttons, or other objects that may damage the coils of the towels. Do not mix clothes and bath towels, as the cotton fluff on the towels may remain on the clothes and damage them.
3. When drying towels, fully unfold them and ensure good ventilation to prevent bacteria from breeding in damp towels. Frequent washing of bath towels can also reduce their lifespan.
