Absorbency is created by maximizing surface area. Cotton towels are best for hands and bodies, while linen towels are best for dishes and glassware. Terry is the most absorbent of all weaves. It is an ideal towel for hand and body drying as it is looped both sides, thus increasing its surface area. Crash linen is a combination of linen, cotton and rayon that works really well for drying dishes. It helps to increase the evaporation rate. Damask linen works really well for drying glasses and dishes where lint-free results matter. Flax derived linen is super absorbent, and strong. It is naturally resistant to bacteria, won’t leave lint on glassware, and absorbs 20 percent of its own weight in water. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/5/51/Understand-what-makes-Step-1. jpg/v4-460px-Understand-what-makes-Step-1. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/5/51/Understand-what-makes-Step-1. jpg/aid31726-v4-728px-Understand-what-makes-Step-1. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:306,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:484,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Look closely. Do the fibers stand up like grass in a garden? That’s a good sign! If they’re flat as a tack, they won’t feel very good or work that well. Feel them. Are they soft? Or are they rough? If the towel has a soft, velvety feel and a bit of weight to it, it is good quality. If the towel is scratchy, or feels like canvas, it is low quality (meaning, don’t buy the dollar-store towels!). Check the size. If you’re tall or large, look for bath sheets which are bigger than the average towel size and make drying yourself quickly a lot easier. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/a/a7/Do-your-own-testing-Step-3. jpg/v4-460px-Do-your-own-testing-Step-3. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/a/a7/Do-your-own-testing-Step-3. jpg/aid31726-v4-728px-Do-your-own-testing-Step-3. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:306,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:484,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Look for the best deals. Decide how much you want to pay. If you want the very best quality, it will cost you more. On the plus side though, more expensive towels will also last longer, so you save money in the long run and don’t have to replace them as often. Find towels that are the same color as your bathroom décor. Keep in mind that colored towels will eventually fade. White towels can always be bleached if needed to whiten them back up. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/b/be/Shop-around-Step-4. jpg/v4-460px-Shop-around-Step-4. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/b/be/Shop-around-Step-4. jpg/aid31726-v4-728px-Shop-around-Step-4. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:312,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:494,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">
