In life, there are cases of diseases of the skin, feet or nails. If family members have such diseases, then processing, washing is done regularly and thoroughly, since the health of everyone depends on it.

It is convenient for someone to wipe both feet at the same time. In this case, it is best to have one large towel.

Some people in the bathroom like to go out on a dry, soft, non-slip, absorbent towel mat. After that, the remaining water from different parts of the body can be blotted with a large bath towel. The standard foot towel size is 50 x 70 cm.

How to choose

You need to choose towels based on its performance.

The fabric used for sewing must have a high degree of hygroscopicity, quickly absorb the amount of water when you wipe your feet and leave a minimum of moisture on the floor. Good breathability of the fabric to shorten the drying time. A humid environment is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.

The composition of the material should not irritate the skin of people sensitive to synthetic fibers, dyes, chemical odors. Hypoallergenicity in our time is important for both children and adults. A poor-quality item can leave traces of dye on the skin, lint or shedding during washing. A large number of synthetic additives make the towel cheaper.

The most preferred material for a bathroom accessory is terry cotton. It is soft, wear-resistant, environmentally friendly, hygroscopic. The wiping procedure will turn into a pleasure. It is recommended to select the density of the foot towel not less than 500-800 grams per square meter, pile length up to 5 mm, since terry cloth with short loops will not absorb water well.

Waffle cotton towels are used less often in the bathroom, due to a certain interweaving of threads that form a cell. The fabric perfectly absorbs water, withstands intense washing and frequent use.

Velor material looks presentable, soft to the touch, differs in rich colors, but is not very practical in use: it absorbs water worse, glides.

High-quality stitching with a hidden seam, strong thread and overlock processing of the edges, will prevent deformation of the foot towel, and prolong its life.

Design and storage

Often, accessories can be found plain dyed, made from bleached fibers, with their subsequent coloring. To avoid the trouble of dyes, it is best to choose textiles in calm, pastel or neutral colors.

Hygiene items in plain jacquard patterns formed due to the different lengths of the villi are pleasant. An example of such a product is a “footed” floor towel. Nice, cotton, soft rug will add comfort and warmth to the shower.

Colorful jacquard patterned foot towels are difficult to manufacture, but the resulting multi-colored models with patterns will cheer you up. The choice of decorative options is great and their price is higher than others. Towels with cartoon characters, fairy tale characters are suitable for children. From a young age, they will be accustomed to hygiene and keeping the body clean.

It is worth getting rid of worn-out, unusable things, since they are no longer effective in use. Do not use the same accessories for a long time. It is recommended that you change your foot towels every two days.
