The Mitre Comfort range is a staple for a reason. In facilities where linens are laundered multiple times a day, you need something that won't fall apart.

It's a practical, no-nonsense choice that prioritises longevity and ease of management.

- Incredibly Resilient: These towels handle industrial laundering and stain treatments exceptionally well.
- Aesthetic Specificity: The blue header bar is functional but may not suit all brand colour schemes.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Waterfront Leisure Centre in Dundee needed to upgrade their worn-out towels, which were failing to withstand their rigorous daily laundry schedule. They chose the Mitre GT788 for its reputation for durability and its bleach-resistant properties, allowing for stricter hygiene protocols.
"We were replacing towels every few months, which was becoming a significant, recurring expense. The Mitre towels have been with us for over a year now and still look and feel great. The difference in quality is astonishing, and our laundry team finds the blue header bar incredibly helpful for sorting."
Ewan McGregor – Facilities Manager
After one year, the centre reported a 30% reduction in annual towel replacement costs and improved laundry efficiency.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- First Wash: Always wash towels before their first use to remove any factory residues and increase their absorbency.
- Colour Separation: Although white, wash them separately for the first few cycles to prevent any lint transfer to other items.
- Avoid Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners can leave a waxy coating on cotton, which reduces its absorbency over time.
- Stock Rotation: Implement a 'first in, first out' system in your linen cupboard to ensure even wear across all your towels.
Keeping It Going
- Wash Temperature: Can be laundered at high temperatures (up to 90°C) for thermal disinfection.
- Bleach Use: Use bleach as per your commercial laundry guidelines; the towels are designed to withstand it without degradation.
- Tumble Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting. Over-drying can damage cotton fibres and make them feel harsh.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check for any early signs of fraying or wear to remove them from circulation before they become an issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material are these towels made from?
A: They are made from 100% pure cotton for natural softness and absorbency.
Q: Are they soft enough for a premium feel?
A: Yes, they offer a comfortable and soft feel, balanced with the durability needed for a commercial environment. They are designed for comfort and performance.
Q: How well do they hold up to constant, daily washing?
A: They are specifically designed for high-frequency industrial laundering, making them extremely durable and long-lasting.
Q: Can the Mitre GT788 towel be tumble dried?
A: Absolutely. They are designed to be tumble dried, which helps to keep them fluffy. We recommend a medium heat setting.
Q: What is the purpose of the blue header bar?

The Mitre Comfort Promise: Reliability That Protects Your Bottom Line
Choosing Mitre for your facility's linens is an investment in consistency and peace of mind. For decades, Mitre has been a trusted partner to the UK's hospitality and leisure sectors, building a reputation for products that work as hard as the businesses they serve. The value of a Mitre commercial cotton bath towel isn't just in its 100% cotton feel; it's in the unseen details. It’s in the reinforced stitching that prevents fraying after the 100th wash, the bleach-resistant fibres that allow for uncompromising hygiene without costly degradation, and the purpose-driven design that simplifies life for your housekeeping and laundry teams. This focus on long-term performance means fewer replacements, lower operational headaches, and a consistently professional experience for every member and guest, protecting both your reputation and your budget.
Explore more from Mitre ComfortWhy 'Bleach Resistance' Is a Cost-Saving Hero
When you see 'bleach resistant' on a commercial towel, it means much more than just being able to throw in some bleach to keep them white. This feature is about the towel's fundamental construction. The cotton fibres and the way they are woven and treated are specifically engineered to withstand the harsh chemicals used in commercial laundries for sanitisation and stain removal. Think of it like a firefighter's uniform, but for cleaning. While a normal towel's fibres would break down, become brittle, and tear after a few aggressive washes, this soft cotton hotel towel maintains its strength and softness. This drastically extends its lifespan, meaning you buy replacements far less often, saving you significant money in the long run.
Who Should Buy This?

- Leisure & Sports Clubs: Ideal for poolside use and team changing rooms, with easy identification for laundry management.
