Care Home Towels UK: Bulk Purchasing & Size Guide

Set the specification before choosing a range

Record the towel format, dimensions, composition, colour requirements, laundry process and total pieces required. The intended use and your organisation’s approved specification should determine the shortlist. Where a procurement policy requires particular test evidence or documentation, request it for the exact product before placing an order.

This is a buying guide for catalogue textiles. A cotton composition or GSM figure does not establish suitability for a clinical process, disinfection programme or regulated application. Confirm any such requirement with your procurement and laundry teams.

Compare catalogue examples

Choose the size for the task

A hand towel and a bath towel serve different purchasing requirements. The Windsor examples above let you keep the range consistent while specifying a smaller hand towel and a larger bath towel. If more coverage is required, the Windsor bath sheet is listed at 100 × 150 cm, in boxes of 24.

Read the bath towel and bath sheet comparison before deciding the allocation. Also consider handling, storage and laundry loads alongside dimensions. A heavier or larger item is not automatically the most appropriate choice for every resident or task.

Care home towels: calculate stock and full cases

Count the pieces needed in use, in the laundry cycle and in clean reserve separately. Use your actual collection frequency and return time to set the reserve. An illustrative requirement of 72 Windsor bath towels equals two 36-piece boxes, while 72 Windsor hand towels requires two 60-piece boxes and provides 120 pieces.

Keep the additional pieces visible in the budget and storage plan. Our case-quantity order guide explains the full-box calculation and how to compare prices per piece.

Request product and delivery confirmation

Contact Wetwood Linen with the item names, quantities, case calculation, laundry requirements, documentation needed, UK postcode and requested date. Ask for care instructions and confirmation of product suitability for your stated use before a large order. Prices on the linked product listings are per box excluding VAT; confirm delivery charges in the quotation.

Browse the towel catalogue for further options. For laundry operators buying across several properties, the commercial laundry page provides a separate purchasing route.

Care home towels: buying questions

Which towel sizes can care-home buyers compare?

The catalogue examples include Windsor hand towels at 50 × 90 cm, bath towels at 70 × 135 cm and bath sheets at 100 × 150 cm. Match the format to your organisation’s intended use and approved specification.

Are these towels certified for healthcare use?

This page makes no healthcare certification, NHS approval or disinfection-performance claim. Request any required test evidence and care instructions for the exact product before ordering.

Can all cotton towels use the same wash programme?

Do not assume that. Check the specific product care instructions and agree compatibility with your laundry provider and your organisation’s requirements before purchasing.
