Well worth waiting for they are not the thickest I have ever had but they dry up a treat.
Delivery was great, very prompt and you cannot fault them for value for money, 10 towels for under £10 is superb. The quality is so so, I washed them, without fabric conditioner, before use to try and fluff them up a bit, as they are quite thin. This didn't do much and, although the do absorb quite easily, they don't absorb much and retain the liquid meaning you need 2 at a time for a fair size job. Otherwise, good for the price.
Ordered these as extra to my order for free P&P. These tea towels are EXCELLENT, as they physically dry your washing up!! I have 30+ tea towels in a draw never used as they are of a material that doesn't dry up as my husband points out. Best purchase and will be back for more when needed. Went for green to match my Joseph Joseph and Orly kitchen stuff.
Excellent really pleased with this purchase
Excellent service & good quality dish towels at a very reasonable price.
Very happy with the quality, would buy again.
I never thought I’d be extolling the virtues of tea towels but actually, as with everything from Athens Towel Shop, these are very good! I buy all my household linens from this company - no over-the-top marketing is required, no wild claims, just great quality products at great prices whether you need one or a hundred. This is my go-to shop for bedroom, kitchen and bathroom goods. Even my friends use them now as they’ were so impressed with the guest towels and bedding when they stayed for the weekend.
Incredibly accurate status emails, regularly sent to me, truly appreciated from knowing precisely where my order was, throughout its journey, to me. My towels were beautifully absorbent, (which is just what they're supposed to do), but all too often I'll come across some which do not soak up anything. Faultless in communication and service. Perfect in Product Quality and Cost. Thanks

Most tea towels that disappoint do so for the same reason: the weave is too loose, the cotton content is too low, or both. The result is a cloth that feels fine dry but redistributes moisture rather than pulling it away — you dry a glass twice and it's still streaky.
These are woven from 100% cotton with a construction designed for actual drying. The tighter woven structure draws moisture into the cloth rather than spreading it across the surface. Glassware comes out clean. Crockery comes out dry. That's the whole job.
Each pack contains 10 cloths, which makes sense for the way kitchen linen actually gets used — they go through a wash cycle, they get bleached occasionally, they wear out. Buying in tens rather than twos or threes means you're not re-ordering every three weeks. Available in blue, green, and red, which also makes colour-coded kitchen hygiene practice straightforward if your operation requires it.
Machine washable. Tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softener — it coats cotton fibres and reduces absorbency over successive washes, which defeats the point.

What is a drying up cloth?
A drying up cloth is a tea towel used specifically for drying dishes, glassware, and cutlery after washing. The term is widely used in catering and hospitality to distinguish this cloth from general-purpose kitchen cloths. These woven cotton cloths are the standard specification for kitchen drying use — 100% cotton construction absorbs faster and leaves less residue on glassware than cotton-polyester blends.
Why does woven cotton outperform other tea towel materials for drying?
Cotton absorbs moisture rather than repelling it, and a woven construction creates more surface contact with the item being dried than a smooth fabric. The result is faster moisture removal with fewer passes. Cotton-polyester blends dry faster on the line but absorb less effectively — fine for hand drying, less effective for glassware where a streak-free result matters.
Are these suitable for commercial kitchen use?
Yes. 100% cotton construction handles the washing temperatures and frequencies a commercial kitchen laundry runs. The pack of 10 format means you can rotate cloths properly through a wash cycle without running short. For colour-coded kitchen hygiene (separating cloths by task or area), having three colourways in the same specification makes that straightforward.
How do I keep these cloths absorbent after washing?
Skip the fabric softener. It deposits a coating on cotton fibres that builds up over successive washes and progressively reduces absorbency — the exact opposite of what you want from a drying cloth. Wash warm with a standard detergent, tumble dry low or line dry, and they'll keep performing.
What colours are available?
Blue, green, and red. All three are the same 100% woven cotton construction — the colour difference is purely aesthetic, though it suits colour-coded kitchen hygiene systems if your operation uses them.
Can I buy more than one pack?
Yes. No minimum order applies. For bulk pricing on larger quantities for catering operations or hospitality businesses, call 01204 455755 or use live chat weekdays 09:30–18:00.
