More About Non Toxic Towels

What is the best organic towel?

One that keeps both you and your bathroom healthy— so, certified to be free of toxic fabric processing chemicals and that’s fast-drying. Towels, more than almost any other fabric in your home, come in direct skin contact with you, so choosing an organic and non toxic bath towel made without harmful chemicals is ideal.

It’s also important to consider how a towel will contribute to your bathroom’s climate. A thick towel in a bathroom with poor ventilation can contribute to elevated humidity, priming the room for mold and mildew growth, as well as a musty smell. A fast-drying one can help eliminate it!

Are antimicrobial towels safe?

No. Antimicrobials are added to towels to make them seem healthier and resistant to germs. But, they do not meaningfully reduce exposure to pathogens any more than regular soap and water. Worse, they disrupt hormone function, are associated with developmental and reproductive effects, allergen sensitivity, and antibiotic resistance.

Are nanosilver towels safe?

No. Nanochemicals are so small, they can cross through our cell walls and even through our blood-brain barrier. The technology as a whole is very new, so caution is warranted. Nanosilver is known to be toxic to organs, and graphene is likely toxic to the lungs. Just like you avoid nano sunscreen, I recommend avoiding nano fabrics. Luckily, there are so many GOTS certified organic towels available at several price points, this issue is easy to avoid.
