How do hotels make their towels so fucking great? They are like 10 times faster than regular towels at drying and they absorb water like crazy.

I've tried multiple different towel types including bullshit like "PREMIUM HOTEL QUALITY TOWELS 100% COTTON" and they're nowhere near as good as towels in a random 3-star hotel. Is it not the towel itself, but something they do to it? How the FUCK do I make my towels like the hotel ones?

I, too, would like to know this. I've used vinegar with my towels and it seems to help a little but not to hotel level.

You have to buy the 100% cotton non "100% cotton*: ones, use heavy startch cleaners in a very hot dryer as hotels are built around killing mites and bugs in all wash cycles.

Target sells them but unless you wash them the same way hotels do with bedbug and mite killer, in an ultra hot dryer you'll wear down the feel in a matter of weeks

Anytime I go to a hotel and find good towels or pillows I simply slip the front clerk a few bills and they let me cheap a few of them.

What's an example of a heavy starch cleaner? I've heard of starching before but not cleaners w/ starch in them

Why don't they just sell pre-washed pre-dried towels if it's the washing+drying that makes them so good?

Thread reeks of unhygienic fat asses.
The only correct answer is: change your towel daily or at most once every two uses if properly dried and not left to grow bacteria while damp.
Doesn't matter if you use a rag or Premium Mega Rare Andean Baby Alpaca Wool Towel (TM).
Wash and dry properly, the smell comes from bacteria which thrives in damp/moist areas and feeds off of your dead skin cells/grime/dandruff, which makes towels their perfect breeding ground
t. lived with women whose vaginas smelled like roses, another thing they shared in common was not using a towel more than once
p.s. for extra points use a different and much softer/lighter towel for your face

I don't think they're 100% cotton. They sure don't feel like it.

But in the past 10 years hotel towels are so clean it's amazing. No hair on them at all. I guess the industrial cleaners got gud + towels as a service companies I guess.

Case in point: hotel towels. The reason why you like them so much and they seem to work so well is you get a new clean one every single day.
Outside of hotels, when was the last time you used a towel fresh off of the laundry/dryer? Let alone a new one everyday?

What hotel are you going to that changes the towels daily lmao? I've been all over the US and not a single one does maid service daily only every 2-3 days, and even at extended stay hotels it can be weekly.

Not op but yes its true. I travel for business in the US and you have to request room service or its every 2-3 days. Outside of US its daily clean and at nice resorts its twice a day. At home I use the same towel for 3 days lol

I use the same towel until it smells. Usually it's like a month.
Doing laundry is annoying.

Business here is cut-that
Hotels learned they can save 5$day on days they don't clean the room.
So they put up signs saying "FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS" and push that shit on us

Hotels do enough laundry as is that not wasting money wasting towels everyday is actually a pretty big deal. You'd know this if you owned your own home and paid the water bill.

I've stayed in over 100 hotels in the past eight months. Maybe five of them offered to clean my room. Most budget hotels in Latin America and Southeast Asia won't clean your room unless you specifically ask for it, and leave the key at reception. Oh, and the towels are scratchy or poorly absorbent as well.

Don't hang up the towel in your humid, unventilated bathroom. Hang it up in the air-con so it can properly dry out.
