Tea Towels

Did you ever think you'd be reading about tea towels? And yet here we are. Every home, flat and office in the country benefits from this versatile little cloth. So spend some time choosing the right set for your kitchen. Whether it's for cleaning up spills, drying dishes or holding piping hot teapots - you best have a stock of clean tea towels handy. Wayfair tea towels are available in a variety of colours, prints and fabrics. Here's how to find the best pack for your needs.

Absorbent Materials for Tea Towels

If you're mainly worried about clearing up food stains and coffee spills, pick absorbent materials. Think thick and porous. Generally speaking, cotton tea towels will soak up more liquid than synthetics and should be easy to clean too. Flour sack towels are also a good option but a little pricier. Linen is a good compromise. It's hard wearing and quick drying.

No-Fluff Tea Towels

One of the worst things about poor-quality tea towels is the way they leave fluff behind wherever you've wiped. The best way to avoid this problem is to choose tea towels made from flour sack. Flour sack kitchen towels are fluff-proof but not bulky. This gives the fabric a delicate appearance that won't clash with the style of your kitchen or living room. What's the point of beautiful designer crockery and dining room furniture when your guests see you cleaning up with a raggedy tea towel?

Prints and Patterns for Tea Towels

When you've settled on a suitable fabric, pick a pattern. Many people prefer a simple, checked print. Checkered cloths won't need much cleaning. But we have so many other options available too. Flower prints could be ideal for use in the garden. Imagine taking tea outside with your new matching accessories. Animal prints look good draped over indoor furniture. There are also modern geometric patterns. This suits minimalist home decor.

Quick Drying Tea Towels

Returning to practical matters, get a stock of tea towels that dry quickly. Not all towels have quick-drying properties. For instance, those made from synthetic fibres or heavy cotton weaves will take a lot longer to dry. Linen, thin cotton and flour sack towels can hang outside and dry in no time. If you want a cost-effective compromise, cotton blends are absorbent and dry quite fast.

Sets and Packs

Before ordering a particular tea towel design, view our tea towel sets. As with many home accessories, you can shop for these essentials as a set. This will save you some cash. A multi-pack usually includes a variety of colours with the same pattern. This makes them easy to mix and match. Match prints to complementary countertop finishes. Let your tea towels blend in with the other accessories like aprons and tablecloths. Our packs often come with their own storage bands or holders. This makes it handy to tuck them away in the cupboard.

Washing Your Tea Towels

You want your tea towels to look new and smell fresh. But how often you can wash them depends on the material you choose. Not all fabrics are easy to clean. Durable towels made from cotton and linen will last longer and stand up to repeated washes. They can also be machine washed without any problems. Remember to wash coloured towels at lower settings. Always view the washing instructions before starting a cycle to make sure they aren't marked as hand wash only.

Tea Towels and Accessories

Serve tea the way it should be done with new Wayfair tea towels. View the rest of our homeware and match your kitchen linen with other useful accessories. Choose new teapots, saucers, teacups, table linens, aprons and oven gloves to create unified themes that suit your home. If you want to go further, take a look at our tables and seating options. Pack your basket then set up your delivery order. It's that simple to take the tedium out of household shopping.
