Shop towels are one of the most important things you can own if you work with furniture, machinery, or equipment which needs to be wiped down after use, or if you need to clean your hands on a regular basis. Far superior to things like paper towels and rags, shop towels are absolutely essential for any workshop.

If you want a super soft, ultra-absorbent towel, look for 100% cotton with dense, plush loops of yarn on the surface. You can also look at fabric weight, which is shown in GSM (grams per square meter). Over 600 GSM is considered heavy, so these will typically be the plushest.

Cotton is the most popular towel material. But not all cotton towels are created equal. High-quality Turkish and Egyptian cotton produce the best, softest, and most absorbent towels. Whether you need them for yourself or your guest bathroom, cotton bath towels are multitaskers and ideal for everyday use.

Think of a towel and the way that it is made, and you see lots of individual fibres within. This is important, as each fibre has its own surface area for water to be attracted to. The more fibres there are, the more surface area there is to attract water.

The Micro Cotton team says the best bath towels are 100 percent cotton. That means the towel's fibers are longer, which means the bath towel is softer, more durable, and more absorbent.

For the face, it is best to choose a soft, fluffy microfiber towel, a material that has the power to absorb moisture without damaging the skin. Once you've selected the right towel, it's time to use it properly. Use gentle patting motions to remove excess moisture from the skin and avoid aggressive, repetitive rubbing.

Bath towels are the most commonly used towel for drying off after a bath or shower. They are ideal for drying both your body and hair, as their size makes them soft and absorbent, but not overly heavy.

Aside from using warm or hot water to wash towels (warm for color, hot for white), you should wash towels on a normal (regular) cycle or a towel cycle if available. You can also wash towels on a sanitizing cycle, but this setting is probably best for every few washes rather than every wash.

Trident is one of the leading bath linen brands in the country. It offers several acclaimed bathroom product collections and is especially known for its line-up of comfortable towels. These offer extra softness and are crafted from pure and 100% cotton.
