A soft and comfortable fouta that follows you everywhere

What is a hand square?

A hand towel is a small towel used to dry your hands after washing them. Also known as a hand towel, it usually measures 30×30 cm. Its very small size makes it more practical and effective than a large bath towel. It is a simple way of wiping and drying hands. This small towel is mainly placed near the sink in the toilet or near the taps in the bathroom. It is light, discreet and takes up very little space. 

The hand towel is mainly used in large hotels, but is also suitable for the home. On our online website Comptoir du Bambou, you will find a wide range of high quality hand towels. Soft, fluffy and absorbent, they meet the needs of both luxury establishments and private individuals. 

How to choose a hand square?

For a quick and gentle drying of your hands after washing, remember to choose your hand towels carefully. Here are some important criteria:

• The grammage

The weight of the fabric in square metres is called the grammage. This is an essential element to take into account when selecting your hand towel. The higher the weight, the softer the towel and the better it absorbs water. If you want a high quality bath towel, you should choose a heavy weight. 450g/m2 is the minimum, and beyond that it's the best! At Comptoir du Bambou, our hand towels have a weight of 500g/m2 for excellent swelling, absorption and softness.

• The material

To ensure a pleasant feeling when using the hand towel, the material is also a determining factor. It is chosen according to your needs. Cotton is particularly soft and absorbent. Bamboo fibre is nowadays very popular for its soft texture. Honeycomb is also an excellent choice because of its good absorption capacity. Comptoir du bambou hand towels are made from a mixture of bamboo and Egyptian cotton. They are soft, fluffy and comfortable. The ideal choice for everyday well-being!

• Colour and finishes

Hand squares can complement your bathroom décor, especially if you fold them neatly onto a towel rack. To ensure that they blend in perfectly with your decor and add a touch of style, pay attention to the colour and finish. In our catalogue, towels are available in various soft or dark colours. Their precise and refined finish gives them a clean design that fits in with any interior decoration.

How to wash your hand carré properly?

Did you know that the bathroom is the room in the house with the most bacteria? That's why it's essential to wash your bath towels frequently to ensure a high level of hygiene. The wetter it is, the more it needs to be cleaned. This is because water carries many bacteria and germs. Generally, a bath towel should be washed once or twice a week.

Here are a few maintenance tips that will help you keep the quality of your handbag as long as possible. First of all, you need to remove stains before putting them in the machine. To do this, simply rub them with black soap and leave them for a few minutes. Our bamboo fibre bath towels are suitable for washing up to 60°. This temperature helps to preserve their colour. In order for them to regain their fullness, we recommend that you tumble dry them. Do not use fabric softener to protect the absorbency of the sponge.
