Description

At Natural Spa Supplies, we have gone all out to bring you the perfect tea towel: For many years, I have tried various tea towels of cotton or linen, but all of them picked up stains with the first use or simply didn’t absorb water. Finally we discovered our super absorbent dish cloths and tea towels which we have had dyed in dark colours to help them look better before, during and after use. Our quest to find top performing tea towels and matching dish cloths  is over …  and it is a pleasure to make these available to you.

Dark colours – slate grey, indigo and teal, made with non-toxic dyes to cleverly hide use marks and stains.
Large 60 x 40cm or 23.6” x 15.7”
100% certified organic cotton.
Thick construction – weight 133g.
Super absorbent cotton– absorbing 4.5 x its own weight in water! Compare this to linen which only absorbs 20% of its own weight in water. This means that these cotton dishcloths are more than 22 times more absorbent than linen tea towels. They are in a league of their own!
Available with matching dishcloths.
Certified ethical supply chain.

Tea Towel Care

Machine washable at 60°C. While you can happily wash these tea towels at lower temperatures, such as 30°C or 40°C, washing at 60°C is known to kill germs – the higher wash temperature is advised for B&B’s, catering establishments and clinical settings. All our washing tests have been done using natural detergents such as soapnuts. We have not tested these cloths with chemical detergents.
We advise you not to use conventional fabric conditioners because they hinder the absorption capacity of the tea towel.
Despite the amazing absorption capacity of these tea towels, they do dry quickly on the washing line and in inclement weather, they can also be tumble dried.
Easy care, no ironing needed.
