Quick-dry Hemp Dish Towel - Organic Hemp and Cotton - Super Absorbent - Kitchen Tea Towel - 15 x 25 inches

Super absorbent tea towel /dish towel is the best of both worlds! This organic hemp kitchen towel is smooth on one side (like a t shirt) and textured like terry on the reverse. 

Generous size of 15 x 25 inches. 

My quick-dry hemp towels are made of one layer of hemp french terry (55% Organic Hemp, 45% Organic Cotton). This single-layer design will dry faster than my thicker quilted towels. But hemp is so thirsty that you will find this towel plenty absorbent for your needs. Like all natural fibers, hemp will not reach full absorbency until it has been washed 5-6 times.

The BEST PART about these towels is that they are made from hemp. We could go on forever about how sustainable, absorbent, and long-lasting the hemp fiber is. But the most wonderful thing about hemp in the kitchen is this: you can leave it wet for a while and it won't get that funky smell. That's because hemp is naturally anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. It does not attract and collect those yucky microbial friends that can make your cotton towels get a funky smell. Hemp is also more absorbent than cotton. These towels are made from pre-washed fabric, but they will continue to get a little more absorbent each time you wash them, reaching full absorbency after about 6-7 washings.

Don't forget to buy matching dish cloths and wash cloths, I have lots of sizes available. If you would like a different size of towel or wash cloth that is not found in my shop, I can gladly make a custom for you, just ask!

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:

Hemp is a durable fiber. You may wash and dry these the same way you do your cotton towels. I do recommend that you use a detergent without chemical fragrances, dyes, or fabric softeners. You should avoid all fabric softeners (including dryer sheets). These will not ruin your towels, but they will coat the fibers and make them less absorbent (as well as pollute the air in your home and neighborhood). Bleach will make the fibers break down and wear out, but a little splash of bleach in your washing machine once a month shouldn't hurt. If your towels or wash cloths start to get stained, or get a funky smell that won't wash away, try drying them outside on a line (sunshine is great for battling stains and odors). A few drops of tea tree oil in the wash will also help kill any mildew that gets an upper hand in your towels.
