Bamboo towels for guests

Short answer: For guests, two towels per person is the practical answer: one for the body and one for hands and face. Put them out so the guest does not have to ask.

Two per guest

A bath sheet and an ordinary towel cover a normal visit. See bamboo towels.

Put them out

Towels laid on the bed save the guest from asking and get the room ready in one go.

Room to dry

Make sure there is a hook or a rail in the bathroom. A towel left crumpled smells within a day.

Neutral colours

Matching towels in a neutral colour look coherent and can be used again for the next guest.

Wash without fabric softener

Fabric softener closes the terry loops and makes the towel less absorbent. See how to wash bamboo towels.

Together with the bedding

If you have a fixed guest set of bedding and towels, preparing takes five minutes. See bamboo bedding.

The sizes are covered in bath sheet and towel sizes.
