Stylish and colourful fresh hand towels in a bathroom when guests visit is a lovely attention to detail and certainly good hygiene. A pile of freshly laundered hand towels on the vanity in a restaurant, bar or spa signals a healthy habit we feel good about!
The spotlight shone on good hand hygiene at the start of the covid pandemic and we’ve all undoubtedly refocused on an efficient hand wash and dry at so many times during the day! Having a good supply of hand towels readily available means that you can change your hand towels regularly and always have a supply of clean ones in the linen cupboard. Take a moment to think about the number of times you wash your hands every day. We use them in the bathroom, in the guest loo, in the kitchen, at work. We’ve all experienced times when we’ve washed our hands and then having looked at a well used slightly grubby looking hand towel have opted for the shake dry instead!
When using a cotton to dry your hands, always hang the towel up to dry after use (as recommended by healthdirect.gov.au) and be sure to launder hand towels frequently. Choose hand towels with hanging hoops for both bathroom and kitchen hand towels to increase the chances that the user will hang the towel up after use!
White hand towels look luxurious and because white doesn’t hide the dirt, you may be reminded to wash them more frequently! We have a range in white and also hand towels to add a splash of colour to your bathroom.Â
New research recommends we wash our hands between six -10 times a day. Washing your hands on a regular basis will help lower your chance of catching Covid-19 and flu and will prevent the spread of germs which cause diseases. Once you’ve washed your hands drying them on a clean hand towel is key to keeping them germ free!
A good supply of hand towels in the home ensures fresh towels are always to hand!
And of course you can choose face washers, bath towels, bath sheets and bath mats to go with them or in different colours to add a pop to your bathroom.
Budget tip! Hand towels are the perfect size to use as a gym towel or golf towel and come in colours perfect to use when you're out and about.Â
