Evolution knitted face flannels are built for the demands of commercial laundering in care homes, clinics, hotels and hospitals. Their cotton-rich knitted construction offers a soft, gentle feel on the face and skin, with the durability needed for frequent high-temperature washing, while helping to reduce laundering costs and carbon emissions. Each 29 x 29cm face flannel has a weight of 420gsm and is colourfast, quick drying and suitable for thermal disinfection in line with the washing instructions.
They can be washed at up to 75°C and tumble dried on a medium heat, making them ideal for infection control requirements in healthcare and care settings. Evolution face flannels have no stripe, part of a simple stripe identification system (face cloth 0 stripes, hand towel 1 stripe, bath towel 2 stripes, bath sheet 3 stripes) that makes sorting quick and accurate in busy laundries.
Why choose knitted over woven flannels?
- Less snagging and pulling: Knitted loops are interlocked, so they are far less likely to catch on jewellery, nails or equipment, keeping flannels looking good for longer.
- Minimal shrinkage: The knitted construction holds its shape and size wash after wash, even at high temperatures.
- Faster drying: Evolution flannels dry more quickly than standard flannels, cutting tumble drying time and energy use.
- Lower laundering costs: Shorter drying cycles and fewer replacements mean savings on energy, labour and stock.
- Reduced carbon footprint: Less energy per wash and dry cycle helps support your organisation's sustainability goals.
- Longer lifespan: Greater resistance to snagging and shrinkage means flannels stay in service longer before needing replacement.
- Soft and gentle: A soft handle that is comfortable for personal care, including for residents and patients with delicate skin.
Ideal for:
- Care homes: Gentle for daily personal care and able to withstand regular high-temperature laundering.
- Clinics and hospitals: Thermally disinfectable to support infection prevention protocols.
- Hotels: A soft, quality feel for guests, with the durability and cost savings needed for high-volume laundry. Specifications
