How to choose a bath towel?

When choosing a bath towel, making sure the quality of the bath towel is good is to see whether the coil is thick and whether the knitting is tight, so as to obtain the maximum water absorption. The thicker the coil of the bath towel, the more yarn is used, and naturally the water in the body can be absorbed faster.

Material has the most important influence on the quality and feel of towels. Pure cotton towel has always been the first choice for towels, because it feels and absorbs water very well. Although they are all pure cotton, there is a great difference between "ordinary pure cotton" and "combed cotton".

Some people like velvet bath towels. Velvet is the process of trimming yarns to make them shorter. The shorter coil has poor water absorption, but as long as it absorbs water instead of wiping it back and forth, it will not affect the overall performance of the bath towel too much.

The weight per square meter is an important index to measure the quality of towels, and its calculation method is: towel weight (gram)/towel size (square meter). Take the bath towel as an example. Only those with a weight of more than 500 square meters can be thick and durable, and those with a weight of more than 550 square meters are excellent bath towels.

The size of towels is basically differentiated according to their functions. Towels for cleaning are generally square towels, face towels and bath towels. Nowadays, more and more modern families lay towels outside the bathtub in the bathroom or shower room. A dry and thick towel will make you enjoy the dryness under your feet after taking a shower.

Generally, the size of household bath towel is 70cmx 140cm, while high-star hotels usually use 80cmx 170cm wide bath towel, which can wrap the whole body. The size of towels can be chosen according to your own preferences, but generally speaking, the smaller ones are more suitable for travel and the larger ones are more comfortable to use.

A good towel won't taste. If you can smell something like candles or ammonia, there is too much softener in the towel. If there is sour taste, it may be that the PH value exceeds the standard; If there is a pungent smell, it means that a fixing agent containing formaldehyde is used and free formaldehyde is precipitated. These things are highly toxic and harmful to people's health, so they can't be bought.
