Efficiency and quality are delicate balancing acts that business owners must constantly work to strike. While a business needs to be efficient in order to maximize revenue, the product or service must not suffer as a result.
Scholars have noted that during times of economic stress many businesses naturally cut back on operational costs, which ultimately decreases the overall quality of their products and services.
Cotton
Choosing the right cotton is crucial in producing high-quality towels. Despite the popularity of microfiber and bamboo towels, hotels still prefer 100% cotton because it is cozier, fluffier, and more absorbent than other fabrics.
In addition to cotton, modal fiber, which is made from beech wood cellulose, has also been used in towel production. This natural fibre has excellent softness, hydrophilicity, brightness after dyeing and good color fastness.

Weaving
Despite the growing popularity of microfiber and bamboo towels, hotels still prefer 100 percent cotton. It’s more durable, resistant to shrinking, and absorbent compared to other fabrics.
In weaving, the quality of a towel depends on its fabric, thread count, and design. A high thread count results in a more premium-weight, fluffier, and softer towel. A higher twist number also improves the weave, preventing yarns from falling off during washing.
While most flat fabrics only have warp and weft, terry cloth towels require a third component that creates its weight or plushness called pile yarn. In order to meet the requirements of hotel towels, the yarn should be high in hydrophility, tenacity, color fastness and washability. Moreover, it should have high wet strength, good dyeability and soft handle.
Bleaching
While many hotels may employ different methods to keep their towels white, most of them are very similar. The first step is to soak the towels in a mixture of baking soda, soap or laundry detergent and cold water. This removes a lot of the dirt and stains, which makes them a little bit less noticeable when they are laundered.
After that, the towels are soaked in hydrogen peroxide or other bleaching agents to make them as white as possible. This is a common trick that most hotel linen manufacturers use to give their products an extra boost of brightness and freshness. These chemicals also help to sanitize the fabrics and keep them fresher longer. The result is a towel that looks great and feels even better.
Sewing
Hotel towels have long been a staple in the hospitality industry, but they’re constantly being improved. One way is through cutting-edge technology that can help towels stay white longer.
The yarn used in terry fabric needs to have good color fastness, high strength, soft handle and absorbency. Generally, cotton is the preferred material for these properties, although synthetic and blended fabrics can also be used.
Many flat fabrics only have warp and weft yarns, but towels have a third component that creates the weight or “plushness” of the fabric called the pile yarn. The type of weft threads that is chosen and the length of the pile determines how fluffy a towel will be. The higher the pile length, the more fluffy it will be.
