Care

Machine washable, tumble dry suitable

A hand towel gets washed and handled more than any other piece of institutional linen — every guest, every staff member, several times a day. Go too light on construction here specifically and it's the first thing across the whole property that needs replacing. Ours is 500 GSM ring spun carded cotton, not the open-end alternative most bulk suppliers use at this weight.

Ring spinning combs and twists the fibres tighter before weaving, producing a stronger, smoother yarn that holds up through commercial wash temperatures — open-end yarn is looser and starts shedding density faster under the same conditions, and a hand towel hits that wear pattern faster than anything else in the property.

Product Details

  • GSM: 500

  • Construction: Ring spun carded cotton

  • Material: 100% cotton

  • Size: 50 x 80cm

  • Colour: White

  • Care: Machine washable, tumble dry suitable

Hotels, hospitals, schools, care homes and leisure centres buy this weight specifically for hand towels because it's the piece that gets replaced first if the construction is wrong. Browse the matching 500 GSM institutional bath sheets for the same ring-spun construction across the full range, or see our guide on bulk purchasing institutional towels for the replacement-cost maths. Call 01204 455755 for a bulk quote.

Care Instructions

  • Machine wash at commercial laundering temperature

  • Tumble dry on low to medium heat

  • Wash before first use

  • Skip fabric softener — it reduces absorbency, which matters most on the towel used hardest

FAQs

Why does the hand towel need a heavier construction than other institutional linen? 

Because it's used and washed more often than any other piece — a lower-density weave shows wear faster on a hand towel than on a bath sheet washed less frequently.

What's the difference between ring spun and open-end cotton? 

Ring spun combs and twists the fibres tighter before weaving, producing a stronger yarn that holds its density through more commercial washes than open-end.

Will these survive commercial laundry temperatures? 

Yes, that's specifically what the ring spun construction is built for.

Is there a minimum order for institutional buyers? 

No — order any quantity, with larger box options for a lower unit price.

Are these TSA approved or compliant for commercial use?

We're proud members of the TSA (Textile Services Association), the UK trade body for the commercial laundry and textile rental industry. Membership reflects our commitment to best practice in textile care, alongside our GOTS and OekoTex certifications on relevant ranges.
