100% quality cotton

For maximum absorptrion, a side towel needs to have been washed a couple of times. For the sake of superior absorption, PS side towel contains 100 percent cotton.

The side towel should be white

A chef’s side towel should be free from patterns, making it easy to see stains, objects, spices or anything else that might be lying on it. The weave needs to be grip-friendly and of high quality so that it does not develop bobbles or pilling after multiple washes.

The dishclothes and sponges found in modern homes are (1) made of plastic that cannot be recycled and (2) quickly become unsanitary because they (3) collect dirt and pathogens from the entire kitchen. A stack of clean, high quality cotton side towels is both a more sustainable solution and a more hygienic solution.
