Why a good bathroom drying towel matters
A good drying towel does more than mop up water. It takes the water away before it can dry on its own, and that is what keeps limescale and mould from ever settling in.
Keeping limescale and mould away
The biggest problem in most bathrooms is limescale, and it comes from water that is left to dry where it lands. A drying towel like the iZi-Dry Towel S lifts that water off in seconds, so scale and mould have far less to work with. Give the shower screen, the taps and the wall tiles a quick wipe every day and your bathroom stays clean and fresh for far longer.
A streak-free finish
Nobody wants streaks on the mirror or the shower screen. A quality drying towel like the iZi-Dry Towel M leaves glass and glossy tiles clear and bright. That matters most on exactly the surfaces where every streak shows.
Protecting your surfaces
Drying regularly protects the surfaces in your bathroom. Damp works its way into silicone seals and grout over time and does real damage. Keep them dry and they stay in good condition for years longer.
What microfibre Drying Towels do for you
The iZi-Dry Towel M is the one people come back for, and it comes down to how much water it holds and how long it keeps doing it. Here is what that means in practice.
It holds a lot of water
Microfibre takes up far more water than a traditional cotton cloth. The iZi-Dry Towel holds up to eight times its own weight, which is what makes it quick over a large surface. You wring it out far less often, so you are finished sooner.
It lasts
Microfibre drying towels are hard-wearing and outlast most other cloths. The iZi-Dry Towel is still doing its job after a great many washes, which makes it cheap per use. A good drying towel saves you money over time and spares the planet a pile of throwaway cloths.
It dries out fast itself
A microfibre drying towel dries out quickly, so it is ready for the next round in no time. That is down to the quick-dry structure of the iZi-Dry Towel. Handy if you dry the bathroom after every shower rather than once a week.
Kinder to the planet
Because microfibre lasts so long, you replace it far less often. That already makes it a better choice than kitchen roll or flimsier cloths. You also reach for cleaning products far less, because microfibre lifts dirt and water on its own.
How to choose the right drying towel for your bathroom
The right drying towel changes how quickly you get through the bathroom. Here is what to look at.
Size and thickness
Drying towels come in different sizes and weights. For larger surfaces such as shower screens, mirrors and a shower door, go for the bigger iZi-Dry Towel M, which measures 60 x 40 cm.
For smaller jobs there is the iZi-Dry Towel S at 30 x 40 cm, which is the right size for the tight corners of your bathroom that are awkward to reach, so the whole room is dry in minutes.
Absorbency
A drying towel has to take up a lot of water without dripping. The iZi-Clean microfibre towels are highly absorbent, which is exactly what a bathroom asks of them. The iZi-Dry Towel S is made for quick passes.
Material
Always go for good microfibre. It is soft on your surfaces and will not scratch, which counts for a lot on glass and chrome. The iZi-Clean drying towels are made from premium microfibre, so you get a thorough clean without leaving a mark.
Tips for using your drying towel
To get the most out of your drying towels, use them the right way and look after them properly.
Use the right technique
Move the towel evenly across the surface. That is what stops streaks forming and brings up the shine. Work in straight lines and press lightly.
Work from the top down
Always start at the top and work downwards, so drips from above never land on what you have already dried. Do the shower head and screen first, then the tiles, and the floor last.
Wash them regularly
Wash your drying towels regularly so they keep working. Leave out the fabric conditioner: it coats the fibres and takes the absorbency straight out of them.
Store them properly
Hang your drying towels somewhere airy after use so they never turn musty or grow mould. Let them dry out fully and they stay fresh and ready for next time.
Looking after your drying towels
Look after them well and your drying towels last for years and keep taking up water the way they did on day one.
Washing instructions
Wash your drying towels at 40 degrees, leave out the fabric conditioner and keep them out of the tumble dryer. That keeps the fibre structure intact and the absorbency where it should be. Use iZi-Wash Sheets or a powder detergent, and avoid liquid detergents and bleach.
Storage
Keep your drying towels somewhere dry so they never go musty or mouldy. Hang them up after use so they dry out fully, on a towel hook or over a rail.
The iZi-Clean drying towels and what each one is for
iZi-Clean has a drying towel for every job. Here are the options and what each one is best at.
iZi-Dry Towel S
The iZi-Dry Towel S is the one for small jobs and quick passes over mirrors and taps. It is compact, so it is easy to handle and easy to put away. The iZi-Dry Towel S also comes in a handy set of three. If you use one most days, that set means there is always a clean towel to hand.
iZi-Dry Towel M
The iZi-Dry Towel M is bigger than the S at 60 x 40 cm, so it takes up more water before you have to wring it out. That makes it the one for shower screens and tiled floors. The iZi-Dry Towel M set of three gives you the same towel with a couple of spares. Handy if you clean often or want to do several rooms in one go.
If you would rather stock up properly, go for the larger iZi-Dry Towel M set. That way there is always a clean, dry towel waiting for you.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I replace my drying towels?
Good drying towels like the iZi-Dry Towel M last a long time. Replace one when it starts to look worn or stops taking up water the way it used to. How long that takes depends on how often you use it and how well you look after it.
Can microfibre drying towels go in the washing machine?
Yes. Wash them at 40 degrees, skip the fabric conditioner and keep them out of the tumble dryer, so the fibres stay intact. Wash them separately from the rest of your laundry and they will not pick up any lint.
Are microfibre drying towels good for the environment?
Microfibre is hard-wearing and outlasts a traditional cotton cloth by a long way, so you buy far fewer of them. And because it cleans well with very little product, a lot less goes down the drain.
How do I stop limescale building up in my bathroom?
A drying towel like the iZi-Dry Towel S lifts the water off before it can dry into scale, and that is the whole trick. Dry the surfaces after every use and limescale never gets started. Already have a layer on the shower screen? Fresh film comes away with water and a dash of vinegar. Scale that has been building for years needs a limescale remover once, because that is work for an acid rather than a cloth. After that, the drying towel keeps it away.
What makes the iZi-Dry Towel better than a cotton cloth?
The iZi-Dry Towel takes up more water, lasts longer and dries out faster than cotton. It is also softer on your surfaces, so no scratches and no marks. That is what makes it right for the bathroom.
With these tips and the right iZi-Clean drying towels, your bathroom is properly dry in a few minutes.
