Which weave should I pick: waffle or diamond Tea Towel?Updated 6 hours ago

TL;DR: Pick waffle for fast, heavy-duty drying and spill cleanup. Pick diamond for polishing and streak-free finishes on glass and stainless steel. Both are 410 GSM microfibre and 60×40 cm.

Waffle weave - best for drying

The waffle weave has a textured surface that traps and holds more moisture, so it soaks up spills quickly and is ideal for everyday drying tasks like dishes, pans and counters.

Diamond weave - best for polishing

The diamond weave has a tighter, smoother surface that gives a streak-free finish on glass, mirrors and stainless steel. It’s perfect for polishing and delicate surfaces.

Quick guide

• Waffle = high absorbency for drying kettles, mop-ups and many dishes.
• Diamond = smooth finish for glassware, mirrors and chrome.
• They’re the same material and size, so keep one of each to dry first then finish with the diamond towel for a spotless shine.

Pro tip

Use the waffle towel when everything’s wet, then finish with the diamond towel for a spotless result. Avoid fabric softener when washing to keep absorbency high.
