Where do hotels buy towels from?
Discussion
For our holiday let, we hire towels and bed linen. We choose the top end range that Johnson’s have. It’s the same type used by many of the 5* and good 4* hotels I stay in for work.
If you buy them yourself even hotel ranges will be just like the regular ones you buy fairly quickly because you can’t launder them in the way professional outfits do and you probably wouldn’t replace them with the same frequency
You could rent, Johnsons will supply one house with weekly changeover, but it’s not especially cheap.
We pay £65 per week for bedding and towels for a 3 bed 3 bath house. That’s 2 hand and 2 bath towels per bathroom, some spare towels , kitchen towels, 4 sets of linen for king size beds and 2 for super king.

no, I like the extra defoliation
Me too, give me a nice rough line dried towel every time - gives a nice satisfying exfoliation and dries you properly. The only thing I don't like are towels that are too small! Peter911 said:

Weve got a busy Short term let in the Scottish Borders and use these guys also. Towels and sheets now 3 years old, sent to the laundry weekly, and still as good as newhttps://www.mitrelinen.co.uk/

To keep towels soft, fluffy and absorbent, you need to use the tumble dryer, but don't use fabric conditioner. The bouncing around keeps them soft and fluffy, and the lack of fabric conditioner means they absorb water. Conditioner intentionally sticks itself to fabric and builds up in a sort of waxy, water repellant coating on the vast number of small fibers that towels are made of.
If you really must have them smelling 'nice' as opposed to not really smelling of anything at all, use just a very small amount of fabric conditioner from time to time.

And re: size - I always go for a bath 'sheet' rather than towel if possible, they're about 20-30% bigger overall so actually wrap properly around you (ideal if you're Powerfully Built)
Yeah, the occasional bright white, super fluffy, smells of freshly dried lavender jobba is nice occasionally for a 'posh weekend' away feel.
But I am very happy with my collection of mis matching brightly coloured bath sheets, washed in ecover's finest laundry liquid.
We dont have fabric softener in the house, I do the washing and hate the stuff, never used it or liked it in my life.
That said, we still have some towels the mrs bought with her which have been subjected to waterproofing with the stuff.
Even after 6 years of living together a a several very hot washes they still haven't regained their full absorption, so I just leave them to her.

Just go to Dunelm surely?
Not sure that's a hugely practical solution. It would be a 40 minute drive for me .... https://simmymart.blogspot.com/2012/07/5ps-6ps-7ps...
