The Good, Bad, Ugly Bathroom Towels Part 2
This is the second part of my writings on good, bad, ugly bathroom towels. We are going to talk about the “bad quality” of towels.
Towels that are of bad quality are very thin, flimsy and loose weave material. There design is usually a printed design rather than a design that is embroidered. More often these dad quality towels won’t last after several trips to the washing machine. Bad quality towels are mostly made from materials that are not very absorbent.
When buying towels for your home, carefully read the manufacturer tags before buying ,to discover what materials that were used in the making of the towels. There are other problems with towels made with synthetic material is that they may easily scorch, may even melt if used in handling items coming out of an oven and removing a hot pot from the stove top, or when they are thrown into your dryer. Egyptian cotton towels made of 100% cotton is still your best buy.
Next and last part three will be about the ugly towel
The Good, Bad, Ugly Bathroom Towels Part 1
This is a topic on good, bad and ugly bathroom towels that I have broken up into three parts. Today is the first part and I will talk about the good towels. The most common item found in the home these days is towels. Let me talk to you about selecting the best quality and towel accessories for the home.
Let’s start with the goo-quality towels. These are made from solid sturdy fabric. Towels made of good quality will use colorfast dyes. To purchase good-quality towels will cost more than the cheap towels, but they will last longer especially if your towels are laundered frequently like hand towels and dish towels.
Towels that are made of good quality are also made from absorbent materials. Other towels made with synthetic fabrics don’t absorb even a drop of liquid.
The towel that get’s the best judgment of most people are made from 100% cotton. The most recognized around the world by many is Egyptian cotton towels as being made from superior fabric. When shopping for towels you will pay more for Egyptian cotton towels than any other type, but in the long term it is worth the investment as they will last for years to come.
The next article part two will be about the Bad -Quality of towels.
All Beach Towels Are Not Created Equal
By Mark Kuta
Beach towels can be made of different materials and therefore will affect the cost of the towel, how comfortable your pool towel might be and even how heavy or how quickly yours might dry out after use. Below we discuss the three different types of materials used to make most beach towels.
100% Cotton - This is your standard material. Most of your standard towels are going to be made of 100% cotton. cotton is readily available and easy to make so it is typically inexpensive. Another nice thing is the thinner material dries out faster than the more dense material made of Egyptian cotton or cotton velour. By choosing material made of 100% cotton you will also have a wider range in choices of the style you prefer. You can find just about every pattern of beach towel made of 100% cotton so if you decide that you want one made of this material then you won’t have a problem finding it even if you are looking for a big or oversized towel.
Egyptian Cotton - Egyptian cotton is the least available cotton of the three materials and therefore you might have to pay a little more for a towel made of this material. Beach towels made of this material are typically going to be thicker than your 100% cotton towels so therefore will take a little longer to dry and will also take up a little more room when packing them up. Since Egyptian cotton is a little more expensive you are going to find the same variety that you might get when looking for a towel made of cotton but those who typically spend a little more on their towels are willing to pay for the extra comfort and tend to care a little less about the design of their beach towel.
Cotton Velour - You won’t find cotton velour naturally in the wild. Towels made of cotton velour are typically going to be softer and a bit heavier than your other cotton beach towels because manufactures combine cotton typically with polyester to make a tighter weaver of material and more threads per square inch. This means that towels made of cotton velour are going to be much softer and very absorbent but they tend to pick up a lot of sand, weigh a bit more and take longer to dry since there is more material per square inch. These towels are great towels for the pools or if you have access to a drier between uses. These towels are going to be slightly more expensive than those made of 100% cotton but they won’t be as expensive as towels made of Egyptian cotton.
Now that you know what type of material you are looking for you are now ready to go see the other two things you need to consider before buying a beach towel or go start picking out the right beach towels for you.
Choosing the Best Bath Towel
Bath towels are more then just an items used for drying off our hands and body. Choosing the right towel can make an ordinary shower feel like you spent the day at the spa when you wrap yourself up in a nice fluffy towel.

Color is important to think about in selecting your towels. There are other important things to consider also.
Quality - The first thing to look for in a bath towel. Look for a towel that is durable, long lasting wash after wash.
Material -Bath towels are made with different kinds of materials like cotton, Turkish cotton, micro yarns, terry cotton and Egyptian cotton. These materials have there own special qualities that make them unique. Egyptian cotton is a strong durable material and is extra soft. Micro yarn is absorbent and dries quickly.

When picking out towels for your personal bathroom or guest room we tend to take the easy way buying neutral colors like white or beige, how boring. If you are like a lot of us we enjoy going to hotels having fresh luxurious towels when we get out of the shower. When we visit other people’s homes we look at their marvelous choice of hand towels. Just a small touch can say a lot about your style.
Many people are not good at matching colors. Look at your colors in the bathroom and use a paint wheel to see what matches with your colors and buy towels in that color.
We have our color so let’s see what we can afford in the bathroom linen budget.
Egyptian cotton towels are the best bathroom towels. Egyptian cotton has long fibers and is extra strong. When spun into terry cloth this is what makes’s these towels soft, absorbent and durable.
Prima cotton is another well regarded towel material, with long staple fiber like Egyptian cotton. It doesn’t have as popular name like Egyptian cotton so it’s less expensive, still a very good towel.
Advancements in textile technology, micro cotton is gaining fans as an affordable option. If your budget is tight, there’s nothing wrong with the standard cotton towel. They have many colors to choose from too. There not as fluffy or soft but they do the job to dry you off.
Buying bathroom towels give you many options. Towel’s primary function is for drying, so have fun incorporating your towels into your decorating ideas to brighten up your bathroom.
Sprucing up the Bathroom
After a long cold winter and summer around the corner you decide that the one room in your house that could use a sprucing up is the bathroom. Don’t want to spend a whole lot of money in renovating as it could become costly.
Putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls is truly amazing. Choose shades of creams, beige or sage green that will be serene and peaceful while you take that relaxing bath. Painting the ceiling in a sky blue will remind you of the great outdoors.
Looking around you find that your towels and bath mats are old and dingy. Replacing them with bright new towel sets and cotton bath mats gives your bathroom a brand new feeling.
Small accessories make a difference in sprucing up the bathroom too. Putting is a wicker shelf or a metal shelf to hold some new fragrant candles; you can light when relaxing in the tub. Have a window cell put fresh flowers in a vase once and a while bringing in the out doors. New soap dishes and tooth brush holder and cup can make your bathroom feel new.
Now go and take that relaxing bath and enjoy the new fresh look you have given to your bathroom.
