Kitchen towels are essential items. Everyone esteems their suitability and they have been playing a key role in kitchens for centuries. Lately, this useful item has undergone a renewal: originally perceived as an anonymous piece of fabric, it has become an attractive object to look at. At last, kitchen towels are not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing: plain or coloured, with floral or geometric patterns. If you are looking for kitchen towels, you are spoilt for choice. Let’s discover together what you should know about kitchen linen!
The correct use of kitchen towels can make a huge difference when handling household activities. It’s recommended to have different kind of kitchen towels, each devoted to a different purpose. Our advice is to use one kitchen towel for dishes and glasses, one for kitchen cookers and cabinets, one for hands. Obviously, kitchen towels should always be at hand, and it’s essential to have their holder in a comfortable location to be easily reached. Generally, kitchen towels are on the oven handle or hung on hooks not far from cookers, so that they can be rapidly found. Please make sure of hanging the kitchen towels to let them dry well. Moisture is responsible for bacteria proliferation, and we want our kitchen to be a hygienic and clean space.
Choosing kitchen towels seems to be an easy task but this is not the case! As we said, you should evaluate not only forms and colours, but mainly materials. Indeed, each fabric has specific properties and different degrees of absorbency, endurance, and suitability. Let’s discover all the models together.
Terry kitchen towels: beware of lint!
Terry kitchen towels absorb water well but when drying dishes, glasses, or cutlery, they can release annoying lint. As opposed to other fabrics, they tend to soak up water and take longer to dry out.
Linen kitchen towels: refined and practical
Linen kitchen towels fit in all kitchens, both professional and domestic. The high level of absorbency of this fine fibre combined with its ability to leave neither dust nor haloes, make linen kitchen towels suitable for many uses. You can use them to wrap your doughs or cover meals, to perfectly dry hands and tableware, to polish glass and crystal. You may wash them up to 95° and they resist to mechanic drying. Even after numerous washings, they keep their soft hand and endure wear.
Cotton kitchen towels: your daily style
Cotton kitchen towels are the most popular in Italian kitchens! Cotton is a durable, functional, and highly absorbent fabric. It tolerates high temperatures and frequent washings. Not everyone knows that cotton kitchen towels are the best choice to dry pans and pots.
