Fantastic towels,soft and fluffy. Speedy delivery. Thank you
The towels arrived very quickly. They are of a good size, soft and elegant looking. They are for use in our Guest House and therefore are frequently laundered. I have found that towels from other companies have tended to fray a lot. Have re-ordered another batch so that must show we are very satisfied with them. Good quality at a good price!
They wash up nice and thick/soft very pleased with this item. would buy more when needed.
Very good value for money and they wash and dry really well. I would buy them again.

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.

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.

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
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.
