Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Flat-packed woven towel | Flat-packed towels take more space and are slower to deploy; ball shape allows instant access and better storage efficiency |
|---|---|
| Microfiber expanding towel | Microfiber dries faster and is lighter, but cotton offers better softness, absorbency, and a more premium feel for branding and guest use |
| Disposable paper towel | Paper towels are single-use and lack absorbency; this cotton towel is reusable and performs better in wet environments |
Use Guide
Use And Care Guide
- Avoid prolonged soaking to prevent weakening of the woven structure
- Wring lightly rather than twisting to maintain the towel’s shape and weave integrity
- Wash below 40 degrees Celsius to preserve colour and fabric strength
- Use a laundry bag when machine washing to protect the edges and compression shape
- Do not bleach and do not use chlorine detergent to avoid fibre damage
