Harringdons Premium Tea Towels for Kitchen – 12-Pack 100% Natural Cotton Dish Towels, Quick Drying, Ultra Absorbent, Bleach Safe, 50x70 cm (Assorted Colours)

The tea towels are of good weight and absorb water and liquids well. They have washed really well at 40 degrees (first wash) and 60 degrees (2nd wash) with neither loss nor transfer of colour, remaining quite soft at the same time. I use them for my newborn to wind him and they really protect our clothes being really absorbent while at the same time being soft enough for the baby and keep firm enough so the baby feels secure on our shoulder neither sliding off nor being entangled in endless folds of swaddles.I have also used some of the towels in the kitchen and they perform wonderfully as advertised. No lint remains either on baby or on glassware. I will update my review after checking how well they will wash at 90 degrees in the next wash cycle. I always put herringbone kitchen towels at 90 degrees for sterilization purposes. It is good practice in the kitchen where food preparation takes place. It is also good practice for baby related clothing.Caring advice for all your 100% cotton clothes (towels, bed linen, table linen, underwear, tshirts etc) :you can wash at higher temperatures to really get rid of bacteria and have crispy clean clothes as long as you gradually put new cotton clothes / linen at higher-temperature wash cycles. Start at 40 degrees and progressively raise the temperature with each new cycle. This will allow the cotton fibers in the cloth to adapt and retain their strength and shape despite the higher temperatures. Use minimal fabric softener in order to offer the fabric some regenerative conditioning while retaining full absorption power. The more fabric conditioner the less your towels will perform well in absorbing water which is why minimal fabric softener is the key.The coloured stripe is actually a tri-coloured one: dark violet, blue and light violet which coordinate nicely together and show a good looking towel of good quality.If you have found my review useful please vote in favor.

My first impressions of these towels was very positive. They are much larger than most store-bought towels and feel tightly woven, with well finished seams on all 4 sides. There is also a cotton hanging loop in the corner, which is sewn into the towel.After the first wash these towels dried very quickly on a screen overnight and were dry ironed to ensure they were bone-dry before storage. I would recommend cutting off the care labels prior to ironing, as they are synthetic and melt very quickly (also took off a few loose threads) but after this small annoyance I soon had a stack of pristine crisp linens ready for use.The towels dry washed dishes and glasses admirably, leaving them streak free and gleaming without any of horrible fluffy lint or fibres. With a dozen I can keep fresh towels in constant rotation without worrying about running out.I have previously tried the ruinously expensive microfibre tea towels from a well known homewares shop and these Harrison's towels absolutely blow them out of the water, there is no comparison, and no more worries about tea towels melting if a lazy partner decides to use one to fetch a hot dish from the oven.Finally, the company's customer service seems very good, with detailed dispatch and email aftercare. Highly recommended.

These were pricier than other tea towels I've bought online but they are also the best.They're soft and absorbent & wash beautifully despite the fact that I wash them at the hottest temperature my machine can do which is 90° (in contravention of the instructions). The colours haven't run. I haven't detected any significant shrinkage, though I didn't measure before & after, they are still bigger than any of my old tea towels. They remain rectangular after washing, ie the hems don't pucker up, needing to be stretched out back into shape or flattened out because they've rolled themselves up (my pet hate).They dry the dishes extremely well without leaving lint behind. Once wet, they dry out far quicker than terry toweling ones but a bit slower than the thinner ones I've bought in the past.Oh, and they look great too, I bought the green ones and really like them. I'd have no hesitation in buying them again.

Quality in a box. Fast delivery beautifully packed. Ok maybe not as crisp as I expected but then they also not stiff with starch. Decent size and wash well with the expected and acceptable minimal shrinkage. Nice bright white with nice detailing in the colour bands and an extremely handy tape loop to allow them to hang for better drying. They polished off a full blown family sunday lunch drying everything fully from start to finish without ending up soggy. Even had enough punch left to give an extra polish to the glassware! Going to order another set for holiday home, dont want to be without these now. 4* because although a very good towel for the price I have to be honest and admit they are a tad thinner than I would have liked, but they do the job for which intended so no complaints there.

Lovely Towels best ones I ever purchased

These have to be the best quality and value tea towels EVER.Not realising they would be arriving yesterday (and havingjust re organised cupboards and must have everything JUST so)I had been and bought some more new ones locally.The ones I bought were nice but these extra large ones areAbsolutely superb.The fabric is luxurious and I feel will be super absorbent.Size wise: whilst I have bought some oven cloths (like I used toUse as a caterer) I feel these would also be useful as oven clothsFolded four times. They are really lovely.I know! I'm getting excited over tea towels but they are reallynice.Value for money: considering I paid £4 locally for three, whichincluded one dreadful waffle type. These really are great value.I've not washed any yet but as they are cotton linen, they feelthey will wash really well as well.Being the rather anal person I am , I will be buying more of these. 🤷‍♀️
