Evolution knitted hand towels are built for the demands of commercial laundering in care homes, clinics, hotels and hospitals. Their cotton-rich knitted construction offers a soft, comfortable feel with the durability needed for frequent high-temperature washing, while helping to reduce laundering costs and carbon emissions. Each 50 x 90cm hand towel 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. Every Evolution hand towel features a single 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 towels?
- Less snagging and pulling: Knitted loops are interlocked, so they are far less likely to catch on jewellery, zips, nails or equipment, keeping towels looking good for longer.
- Minimal shrinkage: The knitted construction holds its shape and size wash after wash, even at high temperatures.
- Faster drying: Evolution towels dry more quickly than standard towels, 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 towels stay in service longer before needing replacement. - Soft and comfortable: A gentle, soft handle that residents, patients and guests will appreciate.
Ideal for:
- Care homes: Gentle on delicate skin and able to withstand daily high-temperature laundering.
- Clinics and hospitals: Thermally disinfectable to support infection prevention protocols.
- Hotels: A comfortable feel for guests, with the durability and cost savings needed for high-volume laundry.
