6 different ways to use hammam towels
Hamam towels, also called peshtemal, are traditional Turkish towels that have been used for centuries to dry off after a visit to a hamam (Turkish bath). They are usually made from 100% cotton or a cotton and linen blend, giving them a soft and durable quality. But what makes hammam towels so special and what uses can they have?
Here are six things to know about these versatile towels:
-
Quick-drying properties Because hammam towels are made of thinner cotton yarn than regular towels, they dry much faster. This makes them ideal for travel or for use at the beach or pool, as they dry quickly in the sun. In addition, their quick-drying properties make them less likely to develop bad odors or mold.
-
Versatile use Hamam towels can be used in a number of ways, including as hand towels, bath towels, sarongs, beach mats, picnic blankets and shawls. You can also use them as an elegant tablecloth for a table or as a light summer curtain for the bed.
-
Lightweight and portable Thanks to their thin and light construction, hammam towels are easy to take with you on trips or for outdoor use. They take up less space in a bag or suitcase than regular towels and dry quickly, making them perfect for a picnic, a day at the beach or a hike in the mountains.
-
Sustainable and environmentally friendly As hammam towels are made of cotton or a cotton and linen blend, they are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. In addition, they are durable and can last a long time if properly cared for. Wash them in cold water and dry on a low heat, avoid high temperatures and avoid bleaching.
-
Colorful and stylish Hamam towels are available in many different colors and patterns, making it easy to find one that suits your personal style. The colorful and stylish designs also make them a perfect gift for a friend or family member.
