Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Hotel in Brighton needed to replace their existing poolside towels, which were suffering from severe colour fade and wear after just one summer season. They chose the Mitre HB678 Comfort Splash Towel in navy to better align with their sophisticated branding and demanding laundry schedule.
"The difference was immediate. The new towels look incredibly smart by the pool, and our laundry team has confirmed they hold their colour perfectly, even with our daily washes. Guests have noticed the improved quality, and it just lifts the whole poolside experience."
Clara Bishop – General Manager
The hotel reported a significant improvement in guest satisfaction scores relating to leisure facilities and a projected 50% reduction in annual towel replacement costs due to superior durability.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always perform an initial wash before first use to remove any loose fibres and increase absorbency.
- Wash with similar dark colours for the first few cycles to prevent any minimal colour transfer.
- Avoid using excessive detergent, which can build up on fibres and reduce softness over time.
Keeping It Going
- Wash at temperatures up to 60°C to ensure hygienic cleaning without damaging the cotton.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they coat the fibres and significantly reduce the towel's absorbency.
- Tumble dry on a medium heat setting to keep the towels fluffy and soft.
- Ensure towels are completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these towels suitable for a spa with a chlorinated pool?
A: Absolutely. They are VAT dyed specifically to be resistant to the fading effects of chlorine, making them ideal for spas, hotels, and leisure centres.
Q: What is the GSM of this towel?
A: This towel has a density of approximately 450gsm, providing a great balance of plush softness, high absorbency, and reasonable drying time for commercial use.
Q: Can I tumble dry the Mitre HB678 towel?
A: Yes, they are designed to be tumble dried on a medium heat setting. This helps maintain their softness and fluffiness.
Q: Will the navy colour bleed in the wash?
A: The VAT dyeing process minimises colour bleed. We recommend washing with similar colours for the first one or two washes as a precaution, but they are very stable.
Q: How absorbent are they straight out of the packaging?
A: Like all 100% cotton towels, they become fully absorbent after their first wash, which removes any finishing agents from the manufacturing process.
Q: Do I need to use fabric softener to keep them soft?
A: No, in fact we advise against it. Fabric softener coats the cotton fibres and reduces absorbency. Tumble drying is the best way to keep them soft.
Q: Is this towel soft enough for a luxury hotel?
A: Yes, the 100% pure cotton provides a soft, comfortable feel that is perfectly suited for hotels and spas looking to provide a quality guest experience.
Q: Will they shrink after washing?
A: You can expect minimal, standard shrinkage for any 100% cotton product, but they are manufactured to size to account for this and will remain a generous leisure towel size.

Explore more from Mitre ComfortHow 'VAT Dyeing' Keeps Your Towels Looking New
Ever wondered why some coloured fabrics fade in the wash and others don't? For commercial towels, the secret is often 'VAT dyeing'. Unlike standard dyes that just coat the surface of the cotton fibres, the VAT dyeing process is much more intensive. It involves making the dye soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep inside the core of each cotton fibre.
Think of it like the difference between painting a fence and pressure-treating it with a stain. The paint sits on top and can peel or fade in the sun. The stain soaks right in and becomes part of the wood itself, making it incredibly resistant to the elements. That's what VAT dyeing does for this towel. The navy colour is locked in, making it exceptionally resistant to fading from harsh laundry chemicals, hot water, and even chlorine from the pool.
Who Should Buy This?
