Fast delivery, product as described. They even rang me up as the face towels were ever so slightly a different colour. I like the fact that they checked with me first instead of just sending them out and hoping for the best. Will be purchasing some more towels in the future :)

My order was delivered literally the next day. Very impressed with that service and will use you again. Love the product! Karin
When they arrived they were thin but I thought they'd thicken after washing. They did thicken. They arrived very quickly, good service without a doubt.
Delivered quickly and as ordered. Would recommend
Face cloths were delivered as expected. No issues. Would order again.
Ordering was easy and they are very competitive on price. It was a pleasure to do business with them.
I found the service excellent and the face cloths look perfect.
I've used Towel Shop countless times and never once been disappointed. Great selection of flannels, great sales, great service. Items are always delivered quickly and in awesome packaging
Excellent service and quality face cloths. Amazing value
Most face cloths at this price point use open-end spun cotton. Cheaper to produce, faster to make, and visibly degraded within six to eight weeks of commercial washing. These use ring-spun carded cotton — the fibres are twisted under tension before weaving, producing a tighter yarn that sheds less and holds its pile through repeated high-temperature cycles.
The maths on this is straightforward: a cheaper open-end cloth replaced every eight weeks costs more annually than a ring-spun cloth at a higher unit price replaced every sixteen weeks. At commercial scale, the difference compounds.
100% ring-spun carded cotton, 400 GSM. Fast-drying, handles 60°C commercial washing without significant pile degradation. Supplied in white — the industry standard for commercial linen because it bleaches cleanly, treats stains directly, and signals hygiene to guests. No minimum order. Call 01204 455755 for volume pricing.
Hotels and guest houses managing high linen turnover. Care homes requiring fast-drying cloths suitable for high-temperature washing. Gyms and leisure facilities running daily laundry cycles. Cleaning companies needing consistent, reliable stock. For the full breakdown of what to look for when sourcing for a commercial property, our hotel face cloths guide covers GSM selection, wash cycle durability, and the annual cost maths.
Size: 30 × 30 cm | Weight: 400 GSM | Material: 100% ring-spun carded cotton | Colour: White | Machine washable at 60°C+ | No minimum order
Machine wash at 60°C for commercial sanitisation. For domestic use, 40°C is sufficient. No fabric softener — it coats the fibres and reduces absorbency in commercial laundry conditions. Tumble dry on medium or air dry.
For a slightly heavier institutional option, the 500 GSM institutional face cloths use the same ring-spun construction at a higher pile weight. For home or mid-range hospitality use, the 500 GSM Royal Egyptian range offers more colour options.
Why ring-spun cotton at 400 GSM rather than a cheaper alternative?
Open-end spun cotton — the standard in most budget institutional face cloths — sheds fibre ends with every commercial wash cycle. At 60°C daily, the degradation is fast: most open-end cloths are visibly worn within six to eight weeks. Ring-spun cotton holds the fibres tighter, so the pile survives significantly more cycles. At volume, the replacement cost difference outweighs the higher unit price. Our guide on why face cloths go rough explains the yarn construction difference in full.
Can these be washed at 60°C?
Yes — that's what they're built for. Ring-spun carded cotton at 400 GSM handles commercial washing at 60°C without the pile degradation you'd see in cheaper alternatives. For NHS or care home infection control requirements, 60°C is the recommended minimum — these cloths meet that without issue.
Is there a minimum order?
No. You can order any quantity — one pack or a full pallet. For volume pricing above a certain threshold, call 01204 455755. Free delivery on orders over £35.
What's the difference between 400 GSM and 500 GSM institutional?
Weight and drying time. The 400 GSM dries faster — useful in high-turnover laundry environments where cloths need to cycle through quickly. The 500 GSM has more pile depth, which some properties prefer for guest-facing use. Both use ring-spun construction. The 400 GSM is the more economical choice for back-of-house or gym use; the 500 GSM for guest bathrooms where presentation matters slightly more.
Are these suitable for care homes?
Yes. The ring-spun construction and 60°C washing capability meet the standard requirements for care home textile hygiene. Supplied in white for easy stain treatment and consistent presentation. For any specific infection control requirements, call 01204 455755 to discuss.
