Cotton towels, bath towel, and bath mat towel are as much decorative accessories as necessities. You can choose from the ever-popular classic white or an array of colors, trims, and patterns. Fluffy white towels give a clean, spa-like feel to a primary, guest, or shared family bath. White and other light, neutral towels coordinate with virtually any bathroom color and tend to have more longevity than colorful ones. Because colors tend to fade over time, you may want to buy extras.
Opt for Cotton
Because of its absorbency and strength, cotton is the fabric of choice for most bath towels. Try this 100% Cotton Better Homes & Gardens Bath Towel Set for a coordinated look. The manufacturing process and the choice of material affect a towel's absorbency. Although sheared towels-in which the tops of the loops are cut off-are the most absorbent, they aren't necessarily the best for drying. Towels don't dry you off simply from absorbing moisture; the fiber loops also brush water off your body. Bottom line: the number of loops per square inch is the most important indicator of towel performance.
Check the Labels
Good-quality bath towels can last for 10 years with proper care. Always check the label on your towels for particular care instructions before proceeding with washing and drying.
