Similar to bed sheets, there are many options when it boils down to bathroom towels.

  Face cloths are the smallest member of the towel family. They tend to range in size averaging at 30 X 30cm. If the name didn’t give it away, this special towel is intended to help wash your face, but it can also be used to wash your body in the shower. In addition, face cloths are also helpful to pat your face dry after washing to help avoid spreading any bad germs or bacteria from other towels. 

  Hand towels typically come in a set of towels and are usually 50 X 90cm. These popular towels are what you generally see hanging near the sink to dry your hands after washing them. 

  Bath towels tend to vary in size but are roughly 70 X 125cm big. These large towels are the go-to towel when drying yourself after a bath or shower. Material for these towels vary, scaling from synthetic fibers to luxurious cotton depending on how soft you want them to be. 

  Bath sheets are last on the list of bathroom towels coming in at roughly 100 X 150cm. These towels are similar to bath towels with the exception that they are much larger. Bathroom towels also come in many different materials. 

  Synthetic fiber towels are usually less absorbent and less soft than cotton towels but are a lower cost option.

  Egyptian cotton towels are a more luxurious option made of the highest quality cotton available on the market today. They are very absorbent and make great bathroom towels but do tend to be more expensive than other bath towel options.

‍  Pima cotton towels or Supima towels are grown from the same plant used for Egyptian cotton, but these crops are grown in the southwestern U.S – not Egypt. Pima cotton is known for being absorbent, strong, and durable. 

  Turkish cotton towels are made of extra-long cotton fibers that are similar to Egyptian cotton towels, however they are slightly less absorbent. These towels are thick and luxurious and are best suited for warm climates with excessive moisture. 

  Microfiber bath towels are a fairly new innovation but are growing quickly in popularity. These towels are known to be not only absorbent, but lightweight. The microfibers blend mainly polyester with a touch of polyamide fibers, to create a towel that is capable of capturing dirt, dust, dry skin, oil, and makeup all without chemicals.

  Bamboo bath towels are highly absorbent, naturally mildew resistant and antimicrobial making them a great option for those battling with allergies and or sensitive skin. 

How many bathroom towels should you have?
‍
‍The number of bathroom towels that you own will vary from household to household. Depending on the number of occupants in your home, you should aim to have roughly two bath sheets, two bath towels and two face cloths per person. This way, each person will always have a bath towel when the other is in the laundry. 

‍How often should you wash your bath towels?
‍
‍It is easy to assume that because you are clean when you dry off with a bath towel, that your towel stays pretty clean even after a handful of uses. But the truth of the matter is that bath towels host a variety of microorganisms that you just might not welcome into your hygiene routine. Towels absorb a lot of water and tend to remain damp for hours – which happens to be the perfect breeding ground for unwanted germs. That’s why experts recommend washing your bath towels after every three uses – unless your towel is infused with pure, natural silver like the ones from Miracle! Just like Miracle bed sheets, Miracle towels are woven with silver to help eliminate 99.9% of all bacteria leaving your bath towel fresh and clean every time.
