What fabric are they made from?

Koh Tea Towels are made from durable microfibre with a weight of 410 GSM. Microfibre is a fine synthetic fibre that lifts and traps water and grime efficiently, so the towels absorb up to 7 times their weight in water and dry around 4 times faster than cotton, without leaving paper-towel lint on glass and surfaces.

✓ Microfibre at 410 GSM

Each towel is made from durable microfibre with a weight of 410 grams per square metre (GSM). The high GSM gives the towel bulk and absorbency compared with lightweight cloths, while still drying quickly between uses.

✓ Why microfibre

Microfibre is made from very fine synthetic fibres that lift and trap water and grime efficiently. The towels absorb up to 7 times their weight in water and dry around 4 times faster than cotton, without leaving paper-towel lint on glassware, which is what makes the diamond weave good for a streak-free polish.

What weaves are in the pack?

Each 2-pack contains one waffle weave and one diamond weave. They are the same 410 GSM microfibre and the same 60 by 40 cm size, just different surface textures. The waffle weave holds more moisture and is ideal for drying, while the diamond weave has a tighter surface that is great for polishing and a streak-free finish.

Each 2-pack contains one waffle weave and one diamond weave. Same fabric and size, different surface textures, so you can match the weave to the job.
