These are questions that we frequently ask ourselves when we have to best prepare a holiday home or more generally a tourist rental. First of all, it is good to have even a rudimentary knowledge of the composition of a towel in order to better judge its effectiveness over time .
The best body and hand towels are made of cotton sponge , a hydrophilic material (literally water-friendly , therefore with excellent absorbent properties ); the structure is composed of cotton yarns in which two warps are interwoven so as to fall into the category of the famous curly velvets. Not all cotton sponges are the same since their weight can vary and with it some specific characteristics.
The grammage represents the weight in grams per square meter of fabric , the higher it is, the better the quality of the product. Generally, light terry towels vary between 350 and 400 grams per square meter, medium ones are around 450 grams and high ones from 500 to 650. Naturally, the grammage-price ratio is always directly proportional : the higher the grammage, the higher its price.
Ok, great. But how do I decide which one is best for me?
The choice depends on the actual use and of course on the type of offer proposed . It is always a good starting point to buy sets of light towels in case you rent holiday homes or bed and breakfasts with a high turnover, which have a good resistance over time and with the possibility of washing even at 95 ° . Furthermore, it is always preferable to choose white towels so as not to have any type of problem with possible color losses.
If you are offering a luxury welcome or medium-long stays, you can also consider offering a 450 or 500 gram set which, thanks to their softness, will guarantee well-being and comfort to all guests.
If you prefer to give a touch of color to your holiday home and offer colored sponges, we recommend that you always choose weights of 500 grams or more. Naturally, this product cannot be washed at temperatures above 60° , but they will be very effective for your guests.
