From cotton to fluffy texture - The "battle of origins" for hotel towel quality！

When guests step into the hotel bathroom and touch the towel with their hands, an unspoken experience evaluation has already begun. The thick, soft and highly absorbent towels can instantly enhance guests' recognition of the hotel's quality. As a manufacturer that has been deeply involved in towel production for decades, we understand that the birth of a good towel begins with the every breath of cotton under the sun. Today, we have ventured to the very beginning of the production chain to explore how to lay the foundation for an outstanding hotel towel experience through original innovation.

The requirements for cotton in towels and bedding are fundamentally different. Bedding aims for smoothness and durability, while the core mission of towels is to quickly absorb water, remain soft for a long time, and be fluffy and elastic.
Exclusive cotton variety - "Long Fiber" and "Fineness" in a balanced art:

We abandoned the simplistic approach of solely pursuing extremely long cotton fibers. Extremely long fibers are more suitable for high-count yarns, but they are detrimental to the loft and water-holding capacity required for towels.
Our innovation lies in choosing high-quality cotton with an appropriate fiber length (28-32mm), a relatively coarse fineness, and a high natural twist degree, such as American cotton or cotton from a specific region in Xinjiang. The yarn spun from this type of cotton has more pores, which can form a better air storage layer. This is the source of the fluffy texture and insulation properties. Its natural twist also enhances the strength of the yarn, allowing it to retain elasticity even after multiple washes.

During the planting stage, we implement the "soft cultivation" concept to reduce excessive exploitation of the land, which helps preserve the natural hollow structure of the cotton fibers. Healthy fibers have better moisture absorption and breathability.

By using the "low-temperature slow rolling" process to treat the seed cotton, we can avoid the high temperature damage to the fiber surface caused by high-speed cotton processing, and thus maximize the retention of its natural soft and waxy layer. This is the crucial first step in determining the initial softness of the towel.

Supplier Notice: Inquire about the source and variety of the cotton used for the towels. A good towel already sets itself apart in terms of the type of cotton selected.

The yarn of the towel determines its basic character. In this aspect of our innovation, we focus on creating a better water absorption and fluffy structure.

Contrary to the pursuit of tight and strong twisting in bedding yarns, towel yarns require "weak twisting". We precisely control the twist to keep the yarns in a relaxed and porous state. This is like building tiny "water molecule storage rooms" for the towels, significantly improving the absorption speed and storage capacity.

Application of double-strand weak-twist yarn: In our high-end product line, we use double-strand weak-twist yarn. It is more plump and stronger than single-strand yarn. The towels woven with this yarn have a fuller nap and are less prone to shedding fibers, and their durability is significantly enhanced.

The cotton fibers are subjected to a thorough carding process to remove short fibers and impurities. This ensures the purity and strength of the yarn, significantly reducing the hair loss rate of the towel in the initial stage of use, and making the tuft arrangement more orderly and neat, resulting in a more luxurious appearance.

The tufted design is the direct manifestation of the functionality of the towel. Our weaving innovation enables each tuft to perform to its fullest potential.

We broke away from the traditional single height setting of the hair tufts and developed the "high-low hair tuft combination" weaving technology. On the surface of the towel, the long hair tufts (such as 7mm) are responsible for providing a soft and fluffy texture as well as a strong water-holding capacity; while the densely packed short hair tufts (such as 3mm) form a solid "foundation", enhancing the durability and quick-drying property. This structure enables the towel to simultaneously possess a cloud-like enveloping sensation and outstanding durability.

The weight per square meter (GSM) is an important factor, but it is not the only one. We place greater emphasis on "effective pile density". By improving the jacquard loom technology, more and stronger pile roots are woven into a unit area. This means that under the same weight, our towels are thicker and fuller, rather than simply relying on thicker yarn to increase weight. "High density" is the core of towel durability and resistance to thinning and compacting.

The towels freshly taken off the loom are rough and stiff. Post-treatment is the magic that turns ordinary into extraordinary.

We have abandoned the use of cheap chemical silicone oil and adopted a process that combines enzymatic softening with multiple rinses with clean water. This "physical massage-style" softening can naturally open the cotton fibers, restoring their elasticity and achieving a natural, deep and long-lasting softness, rather than a superficial, slippery and artificial feeling.

Through precisely controlled drying and patting processes, each hair curl is made to stand upright, achieving the best fluffy state. We have introduced microwave drying and shaping technology, allowing the heat to penetrate evenly from the inside of the towel, avoiding being overly dry on the outside while still moist on the inside. This ensures a permanent fluffy structure and guarantees that the towel remains plump after washing.

Comparison of quality levels: The fate determined by the source

Low-quality towels: May use recycled cotton or blended short fibers, with low fiber strength. The yarn twist is disordered, and the weaving density is sparse. The post-treatment relies heavily on a large amount of chemical softeners. The initial feel is slippery, but after washing, it quickly becomes hard and compact, the water absorption significantly decreases, and shedding of fibers is severe.

High-quality innovative towels: Starting from a unique cotton variety, they undergo weak twisting spinning, high-density weaving, and post-treatment. The texture is a soft and solid "thick feeling", with water absorption as rapid as that of a sponge and a large water storage capacity. After multiple washes, the fluffiness and softness gradually decrease slowly, and the lifespan is long.

Conclusion: Choosing the source is choosing the certainty of the experience.

A towel is a necessary item that guests come into direct contact with several times a day. The stability of its quality directly affects the reputation of the hotel's service.

We firmly believe that true luxury lies in the reverence and innovation for every detail at the source. Choosing us means you have chosen a towel that is meticulously planned from the very first cotton seed. It not only brings you an astonishing experience upon the first use, but also offers a stable and reliable high-quality experience throughout its entire usage period.

Let's start from the very beginning and together offer your guests a bathing experience where every wipe is filled with a sense of honor.
