Cotton Towels and Linens

Green Ideas for Hotels

Cotton is a breathable and absorbent fabric, more so than synthetic blends. That makes sheets cooler in the summer and towel more effective in their drying ability. Better than cotton is organic cotton that’s free of chemicals, dyes, finishes, resins and bleaches because it’s great for allergy sufferers and the environment.

Cotton made of longer threads with a higher thread count is more durable and less prone wrinkles than shorter threads and lower thread count fabric. You don’t have to buy Egyptian cotton sheets with 600 thread count to get a quality sheet or towel, but you have to balance all the elements that go into making quality towels, sheets, and other linens.Cotton cleans more readily than synthetic blend fabrics too. Unstained towels and linens will be used longer, saving you money.

Cotton is a sustainable and durable fabric, making it an environmentally friendly option for the hospitality industry.
