Why choose organic bath towels? If you are looking for super soft towels you would generally choose high quality cotton ones but often these come at a price in terms of your carbon footprint. Cotton plantations developed a bad name over the years due to the relatively high numbers of workers who contracted cancer and other illnesses. People started wondering whether the widespread use of pesticides was to blame.
Now you can rest easy and still enjoy the luxurious comfort of soft towels. Organic cotton towels are made using cotton grown without the aid of fertilizers or use of chemical pest controls. You can find a full range of colors despite the fact that the dyes used are 100% natural. In fact if the manufacturer were to use any chemicals in any part of the process the towel would lose its organic label.
Why choose organic bath towels?
The answer to why you should choose organic bath towels is simple. They are extremely soft, usually made from a higher grade of cotton than you would find in mass produced towels and if properly looked after will remain soft and comfy for a very long time to come.
Like organic sheets, there is a rise in the demand for earth friendly towels as people become aware that they have a duty to protect the planet. The manufacturer of linen products usually involves chemicals including bleaching which has adverse effects on both the climate and nature. Organic bath towels and other products carrying the organic label are made without using bleaching agents or chemicals of any kind. This means they are kinder to your skin and particularly suitable for baby’s sensitive skin.
Bamboo bath towels
If you don’t want 100% cotton towels, you can choose bamboo bath towels which are made using a mixture of cotton and bamboo. Bamboo grows freely in most tropical areas and is very easy to harvest. It doesn’t need to be dosed in pesticides to grow high enough to be harvested and any plants taken away are soon replaced. It turns into super soft towels that are extremely water absorbent so are perfect for those that enjoy a long soak. Some people suggest that bamboo towels are up to 50% more absorbent than the equivalent cotton towels. You can buy 100% bamboo if you wish but a mixture of cotton and bamboo will last much longer.
You can equip your home in solely organic products. It doesn’t make any sense to buy organic bath rugs or towels and then wash those using normal detergents. Always make sure that all cleaning products used are both organic and suitable for the item being cleaned.
You can find a full range of organic bath towels on sale online or in your favorite department stores. Shop around to get the best deals as you will often find them on sale. At first glance they will appear more expensive than other towels. But if you think about how long they last they are actually great value for money.
