Guest towel and washcloth
A guest towel is used by guests to dry their hands after a visit to the toilet. A washcloth is not officially a towel, but it is definitely part of the bath collection. The washcloth is used to wash the face and body. Nice compact size that you can put on like a glove. At Handdoek.nl you will find many colours of washcloths.
Cotton small towel
Besides the size, there is also a difference in the material the small towel is made of. The most common material is cotton because it has an excellent absorbency and does not irritate the skin. Cotton is often the basis for a small towel. There are also towels made of synthetic materials such as microfiber, but these towels are not ideal for drying because they absorb little to no moisture.
100% cotton terry cloth
Then there is the finishing. Terry cloth, velour, woven cotton and so on. The terry cloth small towel has cotton loops on both sides with the advantage that it absorbs moisture perfectly. Some children's beach towels are velour, on one side terry cloth loops and on the other side the loops are shaved off. The velour side then feels very smooth and shines a little. The advantage is that it feels wonderfully soft, the disadvantage is that it absorbs moisture less well. Hamam towels have become very popular in recent years, especially due to the influence of Mediterranean countries and our saunas. A hamam towel is a thin cotton cloth that absorbs optimally and dries very quickly. These hamam towels are already available in the size 50x100 cm. These cloths are 100% cotton.
