Buying Guide FAQs

These FAQs cover what to consider when buying towels, different types of towels, and choosing the best options for your needs.

Q: What should I look for when buying high-quality towels?
A: When buying a quality towel, pay attention to several key factors: material, weight (GSM), size, and construction. Premium towels are made from 100% cotton (with Turkish or Egyptian cotton being top-tier choices known for long fibers). Check the GSM (grams per square meter) – higher GSM (like 500-900 GSM) indicates a thicker, more absorbent towel, whereas mid-range GSM (~400-600) can be plush yet quicker-drying. Consider the weave and construction: look for double-stitched edges (they prevent fraying) and combed or ring-spun cotton (for softness and durability). Finally, choose the right size and type of towel for your needs (washcloth, hand towel, bath towel, or bath sheet). A high-quality towel will feel soft to the touch, absorb water quickly, and stand up to frequent washing without unraveling. (For example, Hencely’s 100% Turkish cotton towels are crafted for both softness and durability, as seen in our [Bath Towels collection] )*

Q: Which is better – Turkish cotton or Egyptian cotton towels?
A: Both Turkish and Egyptian cotton towels are excellent, but they have different strengths. Turkish cotton towels, made from long-staple Turkish cotton, tend to be lightweight, quick-drying, and become fluffier over time. Egyptian cotton towels are typically denser, with a plush feel and high absorbency. The choice often comes down to personal preference: if you prefer a towel that’s thick and ultra-absorbent, Egyptian cotton might be your pick. If you value quick drying and softness that improves with each wash, Turkish cotton is ideal. (Hencely specializes in Turkish cotton towels, so our products offer a great balance of softness and absorbency, plus they’re Oeko-Tex certified safe.) In short, both are premium – Turkish for everyday luxury and faster drying, Egyptian for a spa-like plushness.

Q: What does GSM mean for towels, and what is a good GSM to choose?
A: GSM stands for grams per square meter and it indicates the density (weight) of the towel fabric. It’s a key quality metric for towels. Lower GSM (300-400) means a towel is lighter and typically thinner – these towels dry quickly but may be less plush. Higher GSM (600-900) means a towel is thicker, heavier, and usually more absorbent and luxurious. For example, luxury bath towels often range 600-900 GSM for maximum plushness and absorbency, whereas a gym or beach towel might be around 350-500 GSM for quicker drying. As a rule of thumb, a good GSM for bath towels is around 500-700 GSM for a balance of softness, absorbency, and reasonable drying time. Consider your use: for a spa or master bathroom, you might love a high GSM towel. For kitchen towels or travel, a lower GSM might be more practical.

Q: What is the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?
A: The primary difference is size. Bath towels are the standard body-drying towels (generally about 27–30 inches wide by 52–58 inches long). Bath sheets are larger – often around 35–40 inches by 60–70 inches (about the size of a beach towel or larger). A bath sheet’s extra size offers more surface area for drying off and the ability to wrap completely around an adult body (great for covering up after a shower). Bath sheets feel a bit more luxurious due to their ample size and are popular in high-end hotels and for taller or larger individuals who want full coverage . The trade-offs: bath sheets take up more storage space and can take slightly longer to dry in the laundry. Bath towels, being smaller, are easier to handle, quicker to wash and dry, and sufficient for most people’s daily use. (If you’re unsure which is right for you, check out our blog post on [Choosing Between Bath Sheets and Bath Towels] for a detailed comparison.)

Q: What is included in a typical towel set?
A: A towel set usually includes multiple towel types for a complete matching ensemble. The most common is a 3-piece or 6-piece set. For example, a 6-piece towel set often includes 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, and 2 washcloths (face towels). A 3-piece set might include 1 of each: a bath towel, hand towel, and washcloth. Some larger sets (like 8-piece or even 18-piece sets) will increase the number of each type – e.g., a set of 8 might have 2 bath, 2 hand, and 4 washcloths, etc. Always check the product description to see which and how many pieces are included. The idea is to provide a matched collection for your bathroom. Hencely, for instance, offers sets like an 18 Piece Towel Set that covers multiple bathrooms or family needs in one package. Having a set ensures all your towels coordinate in color and quality, giving your bathroom a cohesive look.

Q: How many towels should I have for my home?
A: It depends on your household size and laundry routine, but a good rule of thumb is two full sets of towels per person. One set in use, and one in the linen closet clean and ready. For each person, that could mean at least 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, and 2 washcloths in rotation. This way, when one is in the wash, a fresh towel is available. Additionally, keep extra towels for guests – perhaps a couple of spare bath and hand towels in the guest bathroom or closet. If you live in a humid climate or prefer not to wash towels frequently, having a few extra on hand helps. Some experts also suggest replacing bath towels every 2-3 years as they wear out or lose absorbency, so factor that into how many you stock. In summary, for a family of four, something like 8 bath towels, 8 hand towels, and a dozen washcloths is a reasonable minimum, plus a few “overflow” guest towels.

Q: What are Turkish towels (peshtemals) and how are they different from regular towels?
A: Turkish towels, also known as peshtemals or Fouta towels, are traditional flat-woven cotton towels that originated in Turkey. They are typically thinner and lighter than standard terry cotton bath towels because they’re woven in a flat weave (often with decorative fringes on the ends) rather than the typical plush loop pile. Despite being thinner, high-quality Turkish peshtemals are made from premium Turkish cotton and are very absorbent and quick-drying. The big advantages of Turkish towels are their light weight and versatility – they fold up compactly (great for travel, beach, or gym), dry faster (less likely to get musty), and can double as a shawl, sarong, or throw. They tend to get softer with each wash without losing strength. Traditional bath towels (terry towels) have that fluffy pile and can feel heavier and warmer; peshtemals feel more like a large thick sheet in texture. Hencely’s [Beach Towels collection] features Turkish peshtemal towels that showcase these benefits – they’re sand-resistant, stylish, and dry in a flash, perfect for beach days or everyday use.

Wash Care FAQs

These FAQs address how to wash and dry your towels to keep them clean, soft, and long-lasting.

Q: How often should I wash my towels?
A: It’s recommended to wash bath towels after 3-4 uses, or roughly once a week if you shower daily. Hand towels (which get frequent use) and face towels/washcloths should be washed even more often – ideally every 2-3 days, especially in a household with multiple people, to prevent bacteria buildup. Kitchen dish towels might need washing multiple times a week since they handle food and frequent drying. The American Cleaning Institute suggests washing towels after three or four normal uses. Always hang towels up to fully dry between uses – a towel that dries out thoroughly can be used a couple of times before washing. If a towel develops any odor or feels damp, wash it sooner. And of course, always wash towels immediately if they’ve been used to clean up something like a spill or after contact with sweat (gym towels) to maintain hygiene.

Q: Should I wash new towels before using them?
A: Yes – it’s generally a good idea to wash new towels before first use. New towels often come with a bit of finishing residue or lint from the manufacturing process. A initial wash will remove excess dyes, chemicals, and lint. In fact, washing first can dramatically improve absorbency: during manufacturing, some towels get silicone or starch finishes to look plush on the shelf, but these finishes limit absorbency. Washing with a cup of white vinegar (instead of detergent) in the first wash can help strip off those finishes and set the color. Also, new towels can shed lint; a pre-wash (separately from other clothes) will get rid of a lot of that loose lint. So, for best performance and hygiene, toss your brand-new towels in a warm wash cycle before you start using them to dry off.

Q: Can I wash bath towels with other laundry (like clothes or sheets)?
A: It’s best to wash towels separately from clothes, for a couple of reasons. Towels are heavy and produce a lot of lint – mixing them with clothes can lead to lint sticking to your garments (especially terry towels on dark clothes) and can also prevent both from washing/rinsing optimally. Washing towels with sheets can also be problematic: large sheets can twist around towels, preventing proper cleaning. Towels also prefer a hotter wash for hygiene, which might not be suitable for all clothing. In a pinch, washing towels with sturdier items (like a load of sheets) on a hot cycle is okay, but avoid mixing towels with delicate fabrics. (In fact, our Hencely blog answered “Should You Wash Sheets and Towels Together?” – generally advising against it for the reasons above.) For the best results, wash towels in their own load with similar colors, using the appropriate water temperature (hot for white cotton towels, warm for colors) to get them truly clean and lint-free.

Q: Is it okay to use fabric softener or dryer sheets on towels?
A: It might surprise you, but no – you should avoid using liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets with towels. Fabric softeners coat fibers with a thin layer of chemicals (often silicone-based) that make fabrics feel silky. Unfortunately, this coating reduces towel absorbency by repelling water. Over time, softener buildup can also make towels feel stiff and less plush. If you love softness, instead try natural alternatives: add white vinegar to the rinse cycle occasionally (it helps remove detergent residue and keeps towels soft), or use wool dryer balls in the dryer to fluff towels and reduce static. Dryer sheets similarly leave a residue that diminishes absorbency, so skip them for towels. (For a full explanation, see our blog “Why Fabric Softener Is Bad for Towels” which details how softeners make towels less effective.) The good news is, a towel washed without softener will regain its natural fluffiness and absorbency – so you’ll dry off better and the towel will stay soft longer.

Q: How do I keep my towels soft and fluffy?
A: The secret to fluffy towels is proper washing and drying. First, avoid overloading the washing machine – give towels room to tumble and rinse thoroughly. Use a moderate amount of detergent (too much can leave residue that stiffens fibers ) and wash in warm water. Skip the fabric softener (as noted above) because it creates buildup; instead, you can periodically use vinegar in the rinse to strip residues. When drying, tumble dry on low heat and consider tossing in a few dryer balls – these help fluff the fabric by agitating and separating the towels as they dry. Dryer balls or even clean tennis balls will prevent towels from clumping, leading to more airflow and fluffiness. Remove towels promptly when they’re dry and give them a shake – this helps prevent them from compressing into a stiff state. Also, don’t iron towels (ironing flattens the loops and makes them less fluffy). By following these steps (wash warm, rinse with vinegar occasionally, dry with airflow), your towels should stay soft, fluffy, and inviting. (Hencely’s luxury towels are designed to be soft from the start; following these care tips keeps them that way.)

Q: How do I get the musty or sour smell out of my towels?
A: A musty, sour odor in towels is usually a sign of bacteria or mildew growth from towels not fully drying or from detergent buildup. To banish the smell, do a deep cleaning: wash the towels in hot water with either 1 cup of white vinegar (no detergent) or use baking soda (about 1/2 cup) in the wash. Vinegar helps kill mold/mildew and neutralize odors by removing residue. After a vinegar wash, wash again with detergent (no softener) to rinse out any remaining smell. Important: immediately take towels out of the washer and dry them thoroughly – either high heat in the dryer or line-dry in sunlight. The sun’s UV rays also help kill odor-causing microbes. Going forward, make sure you hang towels spread out to dry after each use (not balled up on a hook) to prevent that damp smell. A combination of proper washing (using vinegar occasionally) and ensuring towels are completely dry before folding will stop towels from smelling. If a particular towel’s odor persists after these tricks, it might be time to retire it – but usually a vinegar/baking soda treatment will rescue your towels and have them fresh again.

Q: Can I use bleach on my towels?
A: Use caution with bleach. Chlorine bleach will sanitize and whiten towels but can also weaken fibers over time. If you have white 100% cotton towels without special finishes, occasional bleaching is fine (follow the label instructions – some cotton towels are actually labeled “do not bleach” by the manufacturer to preserve integrity). For colored towels, avoid chlorine bleach as it will strip color and can cause yellowing. Instead, use oxygen bleach (color-safe bleach) or whitening powders which are gentler. A good practice for whitening dingy white towels is to use oxygen bleach or even baking soda + vinegar soaks, rather than chlorine, to protect the cotton. If you do use chlorine bleach, use it sparingly (e.g. every few washes, not every time) and dilute it properly before it contacts the towel to avoid spotting. Always wash rinsed towels thoroughly to remove any bleach residue. In summary: bleach can be effective for disinfecting or whitening, but it should be used infrequently and with care. Most of the time, hot water and a good detergent (and sun drying) will keep towels bright. If your white towels say “no bleach,” stick to alternatives to avoid damaging them.

Maintenance FAQs

These FAQs cover how to maintain towel quality and longevity – keeping towels absorbent, soft, and intact over time.

Q: Why are my towels becoming stiff and scratchy, and how can I fix it?
A: If your towels have lost their plush softness and feel stiff or scratchy, it’s usually due to residue build-up or improper drying. Using too much detergent or fabric softener can leave a soapy or waxy coating on towel fibers that dries into a stiff layer. Hard water (water with high mineral content) can also deposit minerals in the fabric, making towels crunchy. To fix stiff towels, try this: wash them in hot water with a cup of white vinegar (no detergent). The vinegar will help break down residues and mineral deposits. Then wash again with a half-cup of baking soda (this helps deodorize and soften) or a normal mild detergent load. Make sure not to overload the washer – towels need plenty of water to rinse out soap. Dry the towels on low heat and take them out while slightly damp to air-dry finish (over-drying on high heat can “bake” residues and fibers, causing stiffness). Also, skip fabric softener as it’s a major culprit in stiffness – it coats fibers and reduces softness. Once you strip the buildup and adjust your laundry routine (use less detergent, add vinegar rinse, avoid softener), your towels should regain their softness. Finally, fluff them in the dryer or give them a good shake after line-drying; a little mechanical action goes a long way to soften fibers that clump together.

Q: Why aren’t my towels as absorbent as they used to be?
A: Towels can lose absorbency over time if they develop a buildup of detergent, fabric softener, or mineral residues. These substances coat the cotton loops, making them repel water rather than absorb it. To restore absorbency, you need to strip the residue. (This is similar to fixing the stiffness issue.) Wash the towels in the hottest water safe for the fabric. Add distilled white vinegar in the rinse cycle to cut through oils and soap buildup, and/or use baking soda in the wash to neutralize residues. Avoid fabric softener completely – even dryer sheets can leave a film that makes towels less effective. Another tip: occasionally do a deep-clean wash (some people call it “towel stripping”) by soaking towels in hot water with a mixture of washing soda, borax, and detergent, but note this is a bit of a heavy-duty solution. Often, just a couple cycles with vinegar and baking soda will do the trick. Once towels are stripped, they should drink up water much better. To keep them absorbent, use a minimal amount of detergent each wash (and make sure it’s a good rinse-out formula), and again, no liquid softeners. You’ll notice your “rejuvenated” towels actually dry you off properly again once that coating is gone.

Q: How long do towels usually last, and when should I replace them?
A: A good quality towel can last for several years if cared for, but most experts suggest that 2 to 3 years of regular use is when towels start to decline. Signs you should replace a towel include: it remains musty or smelly even after washing (can indicate deeply embedded mildew), it’s become thin or threadbare in spots, or the fabric fibers no longer feel soft or absorbent (they may feel “waxy” or just don’t soak up water as before). Fraying edges or excessive shedding are also clues. Over time, even with good care, the cotton fibers break down and lose their fluffiness and absorbency. If you notice your towel is taking longer to dry you off or has rough patches, it might be nearing retirement. Also, for hygiene, if a towel has been used for a few years, it’s likely accumulated dead skin cells and mineral build-up that are hard to fully eliminate. For a fresh experience, plan to refresh your towel stock every few years. (One tip: if you have a set of towels, rotate their use evenly so they wear out at the same pace, and you’re not left with mismatched old and new towels.) Don’t forget, old towels can be repurposed as rags or pet towels, so they still get a useful afterlife!

Q: My new towels are shedding lint everywhere. How do I stop towels from shedding?
A: It’s not uncommon for new plush towels to shed some lint in the first few washes. Towels are made with lots of tiny cotton loops, and during manufacturing some loose fibers stay in the towel. These come off as lint. To minimize shedding: wash new towels separately before first use (even 2-3 wash cycles) to remove excess lint. Clean your dryer’s lint filter halfway through drying if the towels are new – they can shed a lot initially. You can also give towels a good shake out after washing and before drying. According to textile experts, the production process can leave loose fibers that cause shedding, especially in the first washes. Over time (a few laundry cycles), this shedding should significantly decrease as the loose fibers wash out. Another hack: some people swear by a one-time wash with a cup of vinegar or a half-cup of salt for new towels to reduce shedding – these can help fibers bond and minimize fuzz. Also, avoid fabric softener on new towels (it can trap lint). If a particular towel continues to shed excessively after a few washes, it may be lower quality fiber that will keep shedding – but generally, patience and a few laundry cycles will tame the lint. Rest assured, Hencely’s towels are made with high-quality cotton and pre-washed to reduce shedding, though even with us you might see a bit of lint early on – that’s normal for cotton towels.

Q: What’s the best way to store towels to keep them fresh?
A: Proper storage can help your towels stay fresh and fluffy. First, make sure towels are completely dry before you put them away – even a little moisture can turn into mustiness in the closet. In terms of folding vs rolling: you can do either. Some people like to roll towels for a spa-like display; others fold into rectangles for stacking. (Many ask if rolling or folding matters for longevity – it really doesn’t make a big difference, so do what fits your space and aesthetic.) The key is to store them in a well-ventilated area. If you have a linen closet, avoid over-packing it – a bit of airflow prevents that “cupboard smell.” You might even place a scented sachet or moisture absorber in the closet. For bathroom storage, an open shelf or basket is fine, but again, ensure no damp towels get trapped at the bottom. Also, avoid storing clean towels under heavy items; you don’t want to crush the fibers for long periods. Every once in a while, take all towels out and reorganize the stack (this also helps in case any humidity got in). By keeping towels dry, not cramped, and occasionally rotating the stack, your towels will smell fresh and stay fluffy. Plus, it looks great to have neatly stored towels – it adds a touch of luxury to your bathroom.

Custom & Bulk Orders FAQs

These FAQs address questions about buying towels in bulk, wholesale orders, and customization, which is especially relevant for businesses or events.

Q: Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing for towels?
A: Yes, Hencely offers wholesale pricing for bulk orders. We understand that businesses or large families might need many towels at once. With our wholesale program, the more you buy, the more you save – we have tiered volume discounts. If you’re, say, outfitting a hotel, spa, gym, or just buying in bulk for retail, you can apply for our wholesale program (or check our Wholesale page). Bulk orders benefit from direct manufacturer pricing, meaning you get competitive rates without sacrificing quality. Even if you’re not a business, we occasionally accommodate bulk buys for events (like wedding gifts or charity drives). To get wholesale pricing, it’s best to contact our team with your needs (quantity, towel type) – we’ll provide a custom quote and let you know the discount tiers. In summary, yes, bulk buyers get great deals with us – it’s one of the advantages we pride ourselves on as both a retailer and wholesaler.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale towels?
A: We keep our minimum order quantities (MOQs) flexible. Generally, to access wholesale pricing on towels, you might start around a dozen or more pieces of a given item, but we don’t have an unreasonably high minimum. In fact, our wholesale FAQ states that MOQs are flexible depending on product type and we encourage reaching out for a custom quote. For example, the MOQ for wholesale beach towels might be different than for kitchen towels or wall art. We have worked with small boutique hotels that only needed maybe 20-30 towels, and we’ve served large resorts needing thousands. So even if you need a relatively modest bulk order, talk to us – we likely can accommodate it. The idea is to ensure that even small businesses or group buyers can benefit from our wholesale program. Check our Wholesale page or contact us, and we’ll let you know the MOQ for your specific need and the pricing involved.

Q: Can I get towels with custom logos or designs (personalized towels) from Hencely?
A: Absolutely! We offer customization options for bulk orders. If you want towels embroidered with your hotel’s logo, your spa’s name, or a special design for an event, we can do that. Hencely’s wholesale program includes full customization – you can choose colors, add logos/monograms, or even request specific woven designs. For instance, we’ve produced towels with custom embroidery for hotels and even unique color trims for design projects. Typically, custom orders will have a minimum quantity (to make the production setup worthwhile) and a slightly longer lead time. But the result is personalized towels that perfectly match your brand or occasion. If you’re interested, reach out with your ideas – our team will guide you on the process (design specs, embroidery options, pricing). Whether it’s a batch of monogrammed hand towels for a wedding or logo-branded beach towels for promotional use, we’re happy to help create a unique product. (For more on the benefits of personalized towels, see our blog on [Personalized Wholesale Beach Towels] – it discusses how custom towels can enhance branding.)

Q: How quickly can I receive a bulk towel order?
A: The delivery time for a bulk order depends on order size and customization, but we prioritize fast, reliable fulfillment. For in-stock towels (no customizations) ordered in bulk, we typically can dispatch the order within a few days and shipping might take about 3-7 business days in the U.S. For customized orders, the timeline extends to include production – for example, adding embroidery or weaving a custom design could add a couple of weeks. We always communicate an estimated lead time when you place a wholesale order. If you have a firm deadline (e.g., opening of a hotel, an event date), let us know – we’ll do our best to meet it. Since we ship from the U.S., domestic bulk orders arrive pretty quickly once shipped. According to our wholesale info, we ship globally too and handle logistics for large shipments, but for a U.S. audience: expect that a straightforward bulk order can often arrive within 1-2 weeks or sooner. Always check with our team for the current production queue. We pride ourselves on excellent service for wholesale clients, so we try to meet your deadlines whenever possible.

Q: Are Hencely’s towels made from authentic Turkish cotton?
A: Yes – all of our towels are made from 100% authentic Turkish cotton, crafted in Turkey. We mention this across our site because it’s a core quality point for us. Turkish cotton is renowned for its long fibers and superior absorbency, and we source directly to ensure genuine material. For wholesale buyers, this means you’re getting the real deal – plush, durable towels that will impress your customers or guests. Whether it’s our bath towels, hand towels, or beach peshtemals, the cotton is Turkish-grown and woven. Plus, our products are Oeko-Tex certified (free from harmful substances), underlining the quality and safety. In short, you can be confident that Hencely towels aren’t a poly-cotton blend or a cheap substitute; they’re high-grade Turkish cotton through and through, which is a selling point if you’re reselling or using them in a luxury setting (to see reviews ). It’s one of the reasons high-end hotels and spas choose our towels – they want that authentic softness and absorbency that Turkish cotton provides.
