GENERAL TEXTILES-Introduce the selection criteria for luxury hotel towels

As a five-star hotel, towels are not only the core details of room service, but also one of the key items for building brand image and customer trust. According to data statistics, high-quality towels in hotels can increase customers' positive impression of the hotel by more than 30%. Below, I will introduce to you the details of materials, processes, and functions.

一,Materials

High count long staple cotton: five-star hotels generally use 60 to 100 count long staple cotton, such as Egyptian long staple cotton, Xinjiang long staple cotton, Türkiye long staple cotton, whose fiber length can reach more than 35mm, and the yarn is fine and even, with a silky feel. Compared to ordinary cotton, the water absorption rate of long staple cotton can be increased by more than 35%, and its washability is over 300 times higher than that of ordinary cotton, far exceeding that of ordinary household towels. Because the environment in which the hotel is located requires frequent washing, it requires very durable performance. So it is necessary to choose high-quality materials.

Craftsmanship: Adopting a three needle five thread edge pressing process can effectively lock the edges, enhance their strength at the joints, and prevent them from deforming after commercial washing. Luxury hotels use jacquard weaving technology, which can increase aesthetics and durability. Economy hotels usually use plain weave weaving, which can greatly reduce costs.
