I can’t think of a better time to write about using hammam towels as bath towels. You may wonder why now. The simple answer is the current global energy crisis and the myriad ways we are all trying to change our lifestyles to cope with it.
Hammam towels make great outdoor towels, without a doubt. They are lightweight, absorbent and fast-drying. These qualities are extremely valuable for all kinds of outdoor activities and travel. But how about using them as bath towels once the summer season closes?
After a beach holiday, weekend getaway, festival, camping, or backpacking, do they all end up washed, crisp, and tucked away in a cupboard corner until next time? I assure you, dear reader, these hammam beach towels are equally fantastic as bath towels. If you already stashed them away, take them out, hang them over the towel rail in your bathroom and use them daily as your bath sheet.
What are the benefits of using hammam towels as bath sheets?
- They are 100% wholesome, natural yarns (cotton, linen and their blends)
- Compact. They won’t take up much room in your cupboards or in the washing machine drum. This will contribute to considerable savings in household energy consumption.
- Quick-drying. You don’t need to tumble-dry them after washing. Hang them free-flowing on the airer, and they will dry much quicker than standard towels. This also helps save energy.
- Hygienic and anti-mildew. They dry quickly enough to prevent an unpleasant, mouldy smell from settling into your towel.
- Lightweight. Lightweight yet super-absorbent bath towels are in demand. Not only because they dry quickly and help save energy, but also because they weigh less on your shoulders whilst you towel-dry. People with arthritis and similar medical conditions rate these towels highly. These lightweight towels are very beneficial to elderly and frail people.
All the hammam towels you use for beach holidays, camping, and wild swimming also work well as bath towels at home.
However, if you are still not fully convinced you can stretch your lifestyle and habits far enough to swap your standard towel for a hammam towel, we have a proposition for you: hammam bath towels. We recently created a brand-new Hammam bath towels category on our website and put the relevant products under this tab.
What are hammam bath towels? And how are they different from hammam beach towels? They have one side with flat, fluff-free hammam fabric and the other side with low-pile terry loops. Breezy, Elite, and Meridien are among the hammam bath towel models.
I hope that after reading this article, you go to your linen cupboard, take out your hammam towels from their hiding place, and use them day in and day out!
Warm wishes,
