When we check into a hotel, apart from comfortable beds and clean environments, the quality of towels is often also an important factor affecting our accommodation experience. A high-quality towel not only offers a comfortable touch but also enhances the overall check-in experience. So, what is the "invisible standard" for hotel towels? Then how should we choose a good towel? Today, let's find out.

1. Raw materials determine quality: Pure cotton is the first choice

The raw materials of a towel directly determine its quality. High-quality hotel towels are usually made of 100% pure cotton, especially superior first-grade yarn. Pure cotton towels not only have good water absorption and a soft touch, but also have a strong three-dimensional effect, which are all incomparable to chemical fiber towels.

Water absorption: High water absorption is one of the core properties of hotel towels. According to national standards, only towels with water absorption of less than 20 seconds are classified as first-class products. Towels with poor water absorption are not only uncomfortable to use, but also become hard after long-term use, affecting the hand feel.

Softness: Besides water absorption, the softness of a towel is also crucial. High-quality hotel towels should not only ensure a high bristle ratio but also guarantee the softness of the loops, so as to provide a comfortable touch when in use.

Color fastness: Color fastness refers to whether a towel fades after washing or rubbing. Washing fastness and abrasion fastness are important indicators for measuring the color fastness of towels. High-quality towels can maintain their bright color even after multiple washes and will not fade easily.

Pilling issue: Pure cotton towels may have a slight pilling phenomenon when used for the first time, but as the number of uses increases, the pilling will fall off by itself. If the towel pilling severely, it indicates that the cotton yarn grade is low and the quality is poor.

2. Density determines durability: High-density towels are more durable

The density of a towel is another crucial factor in determining its quality. The higher the density, the better the quality of the towel is usually. High-density towels not only have a long service life, but also feel thick, have full patterns and are firm and durable.

Warp and weft density: Warp and weft density refers to the number of loops per inch. The more loops there are, the higher the density of the towel and the better its quality will be. High-density towels can still maintain a good condition after frequent washing and are suitable for high-frequency usage places such as hotels.

Breaking strength: Breaking strength refers to the maximum force that a towel can withstand during the stretching process. The breaking strength of hotel towels is usually higher than that of household towels to ensure their durability.

3. Internal and external quality: Details determine success or failure

The quality of a towel is not only reflected in its raw materials and density, but also in the details of its internal and external appearance.

Intrinsic quality: including weight, density, breaking strength and hair removal rate, etc. High-quality hotel towels have strict standards in these aspects. For instance, the hair loss rate is controlled within 1% to ensure that the towels do not shed a large amount of hair during use.

Appearance quality: High-quality towels should have the characteristics of uniform loops, neat seams, and consistent lengths. The surface of the towel should not have any defects such as broken threads, broken weft threads, loose threads or dense threads. The sewing stitches should also be beautiful and firm, and the color should be consistent with that of the towel.

4. How to choose a good towel?

Look at the raw materials: Choose 100% pure cotton towels, especially those made of top-quality first-grade yarn.

Feel the texture: A high-quality towel feels soft, with smooth loops and no itchy sensation.

Test water absorption: Drop water on a towel and observe the speed at which it absorbs water. A towel with good water absorption can quickly absorb moisture within a few seconds.

Check the color fastness: You can gently rub the towel with a damp cloth to observe if there is any fading. High-quality towels should not show obvious fading after rubbing.

Observe density: High-density towels have more loops, a thicker feel, full patterns, and are more durable.

A high-quality hotel towel not only brings guests a comfortable experience but also enhances the overall image of the hotel. By understanding the raw materials, density, as well as the internal and external quality of towels, we can better select high-quality towels that meet the standards. Whether in a hotel or at home, choosing a good towel is a pursuit of the quality of life.
