- Slower Drying: Being pure cotton, it naturally takes longer to dry than poly-cotton blends.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Siren Spa in Newquay was struggling with towels that were fading and fraying after just a few months, especially with the combination of pool chemicals and constant washing. They upgraded to the Mitre GT890 towel to improve both durability and guest experience.
"The difference was immediate. The blue has stayed incredibly vibrant, even on the towels we use poolside daily. They feel much more premium, and our guests have noticed. They simply look and feel professional, which reflects well on us."
Rebecca Finch – Spa Manager
By switching, the spa reduced its annual towel replacement budget by 25% and saw an increase in positive guest feedback mentioning the quality of the facilities.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always complete a full wash cycle before first use to remove any storage dust and prime the cotton fibres.
- This initial wash helps to 'fluff up' the towel, maximising its natural absorbency from the get-go.
- Wash with similar colours for the first couple of cycles to prevent any remote chance of dye transfer.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the cotton and create a barrier that reduces absorbency.
Keeping It Going
- Wash at recommended temperatures; the durable cotton and vat dye can handle hot commercial cycles.
- Tumble dry on a medium heat to keep the towels feeling soft, fluffy, and welcoming for guests.
- If you notice a snag or a pulled loop, simply snip it off with scissors. Do not pull it, as this can unravel the weave.
- The chlorine-resistant properties mean you don't have to worry about fading in pool or spa environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these towels suitable for a high-turnover commercial laundry service?
A: Absolutely. They are specifically designed for commercial durability and can easily withstand the rigours of frequent, high-temperature industrial laundering.
Q: What does 'vat dyed' actually mean for the towel?
A: It's a superior dyeing method where colour is absorbed deep into the cotton fibres, making the towel exceptionally resistant to fading from chemicals like chlorine, as well as sunlight.
Q: How absorbent is the Mitre GT890 towel?
A: As it's made from 100% pure cotton, it offers excellent natural absorbency, making it highly effective for drying off after a swim or shower.
Q: Will the blue colour run in the wash?
A: The vat-dyeing process dramatically minimises colour bleeding. However, as with any new coloured textile, we recommend washing with similar colours for the first one or two washes as a precaution.
Q: Is this a bath towel or a larger bath sheet?
A: Measuring 1500 x 900mm, this is a generously sized leisure towel, often referred to as a bath sheet. It's larger than a standard bath towel, perfect for wrapping up in.
Q: Should I use fabric softener with these towels?
A: We advise against it. Fabric softeners can leave a waxy coating on cotton fibres, which builds up over time and reduces their natural absorbency.
Q: How soft is this Comfort Splash commercial towel?
A: Very. The 100% cotton construction ensures a naturally soft and comfortable feel that guests and members will appreciate.
Q: Can I use these in my salon where we use bleaching agents?
A: While highly resistant to chlorine, strong hairdressing bleaching agents can still affect the colour. For salon use, it's always best to use bleach-proof towels.
The Mitre Comfort Promise: An Investment in Quality
Choosing a towel might seem like a small decision, but it’s these details that shape your customers' perception of your business. With over 70 years of experience supplying the UK's hospitality industry, Mitre understands this better than anyone. The Mitre Comfort GT890 towel isn't just a piece of cotton; it's a reflection of your commitment to quality. Investing in a superior, durable product means fewer replacements, lower long-term costs, and a consistently professional appearance. A plush, vibrant towel tells a story of care and quality, whereas a faded, thin one suggests the opposite. By choosing Mitre, you are opting for proven reliability and textiles engineered to perform in demanding commercial environments, ensuring every guest experience is a positive one while contributing to a smoother, more cost-effective operation behind the scenes.
Explore more from Mitre ComfortWhy Vat Dyeing Keeps Your Towels Brighter, Longer
Ever wondered why some coloured fabrics fade quickly in the sun or with harsh detergents, while others don't? The secret is often in the dyeing method, and the Mitre GT890 towel uses one of the best: vat dyeing. Instead of just coating the surface of the fibres with colour, this process involves soaking the cotton in a special dye solution. The dye penetrates deep into the core of each fibre and then becomes insoluble, effectively locking it in permanently.
Think of it like staining wood versus painting it. Paint sits on the surface and can easily chip or peel off. A wood stain, however, soaks deep into the grain and becomes part of the wood itself. Vat dyeing does the same for fabric. This is why these towels are so resistant to fading from chlorine, sunlight, and the tough detergents used in commercial laundries. It’s not just a colour, it's part of the towel's very structure.
