⦁ WASHCLOTHS
These are the smallest type of towels available. The typical washcloth size ranges around 13 inches by 13 inches. However, a smaller one measuring 12 inches by 12 inches can also be found. Washcloths are perfect for wiping your face because of their modest sizes. Washcloths aren’t ideal for drying off your body because of their small size.

Remember to hang them after use to dry faster to help prevent the growth of any bacteria or mold.
. BATH MATS
Bath mats are towel-like mats that you can use to absorb water or cover the floor around your bathtub. You can also use them for an absorbent purpose.

Consider the space in your home when getting bath towels for decorative purposes from a linen company. You may not use them for displaying only. But, when your closet space is small, you can opt for small-sized bath towels. Small-sized bath towels are perfect for your traveling needs. Apart from size, there are other factors to consider such as softness, durability, and absorbency. For durability, cotton is stronger than rayon. Get two-ply towels for maximum durability.
