FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BATH TOWEL AND BATH SHEET?
The difference between bath towels and bath sheets is size. Bath sheets are slightly larger, which can help make drying off easier since it covers more surface area. They can also be used as a beach or pool towel. However, bath sheets tend to be a little more expensive, especially for the premium heavy weight options.
Otherwise, bath towels and sheets are the same. And since both items are typically made as part of a set, if you’ve got an eye on a particular towel, there’s a good chance there’s a sheet version also available.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU WASH BATH SHEETS?
Bath towels and bath sheets should be washed after three to five uses, according to the American Cleaning Institute. It’s also important to make sure they’re dry before using it again because moisture makes the ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi – and that’s in addition to the dead skin cells, plus different types of microorganisms, that usually transfer onto the fabric when you dry off. The same goes for pillows and bed sheets.
