Understand what makes a towel a good towel. For starters, towels for different purposes will benefit from different fabrics, whether they're for drying your body or drying your dishes. Things to keep in mind include: Absorbency is created by maximizing surface area. Cotton towels are best for hands and bodies, o
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. 2 o

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. 4 Shop around. 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 •
