Bath towels

A bath towel is a very large cloth that you can use to dry your body after getting out of the bath or shower. You can also use it as a foot mat to step on when you get out of the bath, or as a cover for your body or hair.

Bath towels

Bath towels, or beach towels, can generally be used when you go to the beach for a day. The bath towel is large enough so that you can lie down on the sand without your head or feet getting covered in sand.

Towel

The regular towel is a small towel with which you dry your hands. This is for example the towel that you hang in the toilet or in the kitchen. In smaller size this is also called a face towel or guest towel, the size is then usually a small square as big as about the width of your hand. You can use this to clean your face.

Tea towels

Tea towels are mostly used in the kitchen to dry clean dishes. They are also very handy to place on the shelves of kitchen cupboards to absorb excess water. Food such as baked bread or biscuits can be covered with a clean tea towel to keep them fresh for as long as possible. You can also place tea towels between plates, pots or pans to protect them from scratches.

Sports towels

Sports towels have extremely absorbent properties and are made of a sturdy material. These towels can be taken to the gym and offer the ability to absorb as much sweat as possible during exercise.
