Hand towels start at around 500 x 750mm (20 x 30"), and are generally regarded as the second smallest size of towel. Face towels (otherwise known as washcloths) are the smallest, with hand towels next, followed by bath towels and finally bath sheets. What is a hand towel used for? A hand towel, as the name suggests, is generally used for drying the hands after washing. Most hotel rooms will offer one (or several) as an easy way to boost the guest experience. What makes a good quality towel? A good quality towel should be thick, absorbent and soft. A high fabric weight will provide most of these sought-after qualities, ensuring your towel is heavy enough to absorb a large amount of water while remaining soft to the touch. And the material shouldn't be ignored either. Cotton, for instance, can hold up to 25 times its weight in liquid, making it super absorbent when compared with synthetic materials. This towel from Mitre has a fabric weight of 500g/m² and is made from soft, pure and hardwearing cotton, making it perfect for use in any luxury hospitality setting. How to fold a hand towel Folding a hand towel is easy - but doing it right is a great way to boost the image of your business. 1. Lay the towel flat in a portrait position. If it has a seam, make sure the seam side is facing down 2. Fold the bottom third of the towel into the middle 3. Fold the top two thirds over your bottom third fold, so that the top edge of the towel meets the bottom edge 4. Smooth out your towel, then fold in half left to right 5. You'll now have a neatly folded towel that can add the finishing touch to any bathroom.
