ISO towels for drying dishes

[amylearnstocook]

I buy towels at Sam's Club and a local restaurant supply. They come in packs of 12. I buy only white so that I can put them in a hot washer with bleach. I must have over 100 in two bins so I always have a lot of towels to use.

I'm a big fan of real linen towels - they are durable and very absorbent. The best place to get these imo is a thrift store where you can often find then used but in good shape. A restaurant supply store will also have them and there's always etsy and williams sonoma.

I use 100% cotton salon towels. My wife usually orders 20 dozen new towels every year for the business and she gives me 1 dozen for the dishes. I hand wash all dishes (no dishwasher) so towels are very important to us (me).

Where does she order the salon towels from?

Back in the days when I had time to weave, I used loved to make set the loom up with a 40/60% linen/cotton warp and throw a linen weft. I still use towels I wove in the mid '90s. When I buy dish towels, I like linen or 100% cotton.

I prefer basket weave type towels for kitchen use:

Not a fan of towels with a nap like hand or bath towels.

I also like 100% cotton as I wash them with bleach to disinfect them.

These look nice. The bleach doesn't affect the color of the stripes?

I got these at Bed Bath a few weeks ago, but I'm not crazy about them. They make streaks on my cutlery and there were pulls in the fabric after one machine washing.

Maybe the basket weave towels will hold up better.

I think they do. Also, I don't use fabric softener when washing or drying kitchen towels or dish cloths. Fabric softener reduces the towels' absorbency.
