Terrycloth is a textile product characterized by a plush texture and high absorption capacity, made mainly from cotton. The main types include plain terrycloth (100% cotton with good absorption for daily use), damask terrycloth (with textured patterns and elegant finish, ideal for hotels), bamboo terrycloth (sustainable and hypoallergenic) and microfiber terrycloth (quick-drying and compact). At RAG Tailors, we offer a variety of terrycloth fabrics to meet the specific needs of each professional segment.

For professional use, especially in hospitality and spas, Egyptian cotton and Turkish cotton (also known as Pima cotton) are considered the best materials due to their extraordinary durability and absorbency. These premium terrycloth fabrics have long fibres that ensure greater resistance to frequent washing and heavy use. Alternatively, cotton and polyester blend terrycloth offers excellent value for money for high turnover environments. RAG Tailors carefully selects the materials to ensure that our terrycloth maintains its quality even after hundreds of washes.

The quality of a terrycloth set can be identified through several factors: first, check the grammage (weight in g/m²) – the higher the grammage, the more absorbent and durable the product will be, with top-quality terrycloth starting at 500g/m². Second, analyze the density of the fibers and how soft they feel to the touch. Third, observe the finish of the hems and seams, which should be reinforced. Finally, check the composition of the terrycloth fabric, prioritizing long-fiber cotton. At RAG Tailors, all of our terrycloths undergo rigorous quality controls to ensure excellence in each piece.

To maximize the durability of terry cloth, we recommend washing the items before first use to remove chemical residues and increase absorbency. Use warm (not hot) water and mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners that can reduce absorbency. Wash similar colors together to avoid color transfer. Avoid drying terry cloth fabrics at very high temperatures, as this can damage the fibers and reduce softness. For professional terry cloth subject to intensive use, it is recommended to have a rotating stock, allowing each item to 'rest' between uses, a practice that significantly extends the useful life of the product.

Conventional terrycloth has a uniform texture across the entire surface, with regular pile and no prominent patterns, making it ideal for everyday use due to its practicality and ease of maintenance. Damask terrycloth is distinguished by its textured patterns and elegant designs incorporated during weaving, creating high and low relief effects in the fabric. This technique results in more sophisticated pieces, often used in luxury hotels and spas. Damask fabrics generally have a higher grammage, which contributes to greater absorption and durability, in addition to maintaining a premium appearance even after multiple washes, making it the preferred choice for environments that require aesthetic refinement.

Custom terrycloth offers multiple strategic benefits for companies, transforming a functional item into a marketing tool. Customizing your logo with embroidery, printing or screen printing strengthens your brand’s visual identity, increasing its recognition. In hotels and spas, these pieces enhance the customer experience, conveying professionalism and attention to detail. Additionally, they can function as exclusive corporate gifts or standardize the presentation in beauty salons. RAG Tailors offers complete customization services in top-quality terrycloth fabrics, with delivery times between 10 and 15 business days for custom orders.

The grammage of terry cloth, measured in grams per square meter (g/m²), directly determines its thickness, absorption and durability. Light terry cloth (300-400g/m²) is ideal for gyms, professional kitchens and as face towels, offering quick drying and practicality. Medium terry cloth (400-550g/m²) has a good balance between absorption and drying time, being versatile for everyday use in mid-range hotels. Heavy terry cloth (550-700g/m²) provides superior absorption and a luxurious feel, recommended for premium hotels and spas. Ultra-heavy terry cloth (over 700g/m²) represents the ultimate in comfort and durability, perfect for luxury establishments that want to offer differentiated sensory experiences to their guests.
