Buy high-quality towels

Your journey to soft and comfortable towels starts at the point of purchase. When you buy low-quality towels, it will be more difficult for you to keep them soft. Therefore, put some time and even energy into your quality towel selection process. Use our tips to help you buy the right quality towels.

Know the Type of Towel You Need

Choosing the right towel, likeOxford 2x2 Cabana Pool Towels andHand Towel - Oxford Magic Bleachguard, boils down to personal preference;

For super soft and ultra-absorbent towels, opt for 100% cotton with dense, plush loops of yarn on the surface.

Quick drying and more durable, opt for a poly-cotton blend or a towel with lighter fabric and a low pile (short loops).

A towel with fluffy loops feels much softer, but it can take a lot of time to get dry. It may also show more wear from laundering.

Fiber Content

100% cotton towels like theM5711 Premium Towel are the premium standard. It is more durable, which saves you plenty of money in the long run. Egyptian cotton and other cotton towels are softer because the fabric has longer fibers. Cotton towels are made of long and even durable threads with fibers aligned in one direction.

Inspect the towel

Make sure all sides of the towel are folded and secured with a tight stitch. If not sewn correctly, the towel will wear out quickly - affecting its longevity.

Wash towels in soft water

Always wash your towels with soft water. After drying, towels will become rough and scratchy.  Calcium, iron, magnesium, and manganese, these minerals are present in hard water. These minerals cause the roughing of the towels by settling between the fibers of the towel.

Wash the towels in hot water

It is better to use hot water for washing the towels instead of cold water. And it's good because warm water helps:

• absorb the soap better. 
• disinfects and kills bacteria.
• It's better to wash the towels in the washing machine.
• Helps remove the dirt by preventing the towel from getting dirty.

Use vinegar and baking soda

Vinegar is a magical cleaner. Hotels use vinegar or baking soda on towels instead of fabric softeners. Silicone is present in the Fabric softener that will make your towel waterproof. So, it is suggested that towels not be washed with the softener.

Use plenty of detergent 

Do not overload the washing machine. At the same time, Putting too many towels in the washing machine can overload the machine. It stops washing all the dirt and laundry from your towels.

Throw a dryer ball or tennis ball in the dryer

Although towels help with drying, new tennis balls, and dryer balls will bounce in the dryer as your towels will help: 

• remove lumps
• Prevent clumps. 
• Keep your towels soft and comfortable. 
• Speed up the drying process;
• Minimize wrinkles and static.

These are a few tips and hacks that will help you to make your towel super soft and dryer, just like the hotels.
