Towel FAQs
At Destination LA Towels, we are frequently asked questions related to towels, wash clothes, and how to extend their usefulness. Here are some of the most popular that we would like to share with you:
-
How do to make towels more absorbant? - Wash the towels before the first use. When the towel is manufactured, it is coated with a special fabric softener to make the fabric fluffy and soft. These solutions can interfere with water absorption, so we recommend that you wash the towel and also add a cup of white vinegar to this first wash cycle.
-
What is the difference between Turkish cotton & Egyptian cotton? - Turkish Cotton is grown in the small Aegean Region and has extra long fibers, which when spun, results in stronger and smoother cotton threads. The Turkish cotton towels are extremely soft and fluffy to the touch. Egyptian cotton is grown in the Nile Valley and known for its high absorbancy. Combined with its softness and high strength, Egyption cotton is the most popular cotton used in towels, sheets and linens worldwide.
-
What is the recommended number of towels in a household? - Typically, it is recommended that you stock at least 3 bath towels, 2 hand towels and 6 washclothes per person for an average household.
-
What are organic towels? - Organic towels can be made from a variety of materials. Two such materials are cotton and bamboo. Cotton organic towels are made from cotton that is grown free of pesticides and chemicals. They are absorbent and hypoallergenic which is ideal for those with allergies. These towels are also made without bleach or other synthetic materials as is regulated by the government agency under which they are produced.
