For maximum absorbency & durability: What material should dish towels be made of?
Our dish towels from Karlowsky stand out thanks to carefully selected materials developed specifically for the high demands of kitchens, restaurants, and households. As indispensable components of professional kitchen supplies, they combine quality, absorbency, and durable construction. You have the choice between various materials within our versatile range:
100% cotton
Pure cotton dish towels are the classics and are well-suited for drying dishes, stoneware, and porcelain. Our cotton towels are characterized by particularly high absorbency and a pleasant feel. They are ideal for drying dishes, cutlery, and glasses and impress with excellent drying properties. In addition, they can be easily washed and ironed without losing any quality.
Half-linen (cotton & linen)
Half-linen dish towels are made from a blend of cotton and linen. Half-linen combines the sturdiness of linen with the softness of cotton. These materials ensure a particularly long lifespan, high durability , and excellent practicality in daily use. Linen-cotton tea towels are particularly well suited for drying and polishing glasses , as they produce fewer lint and leave hardly any residual moisture or water spots on delicate surfaces.
Viscose
Viscose dish towels stand out for their exceptional absorbency and soft texture. They absorb moisture quickly and help achieve a streak-free shine on glasses and other surfaces. Our viscose straining cloth is also ideal for straining liquids cleanly and efficiently—an indispensable tool for service and kitchen professionals.
All variants impress with reliable absorbency, durable textile quality and professional workmanship. Our products are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified and meet the highest environmental and health standards—for sustainable materials produced responsibly.

Cleaning & Care of Dish Towels – Wash According to Material
To ensure your dish towels retain their quality, absorbency, and appearance over time, proper cleaning is crucial. A good dish towel must be washable at a minimum of 60 °C to reliably kill bacteria. Care instructions may vary depending on the item, material composition, and construction:
- Linen-cotton blends and cotton are particularly durable and can be washed at up to 95 °C. This high washing temperature is ideal for professional use in kitchens and the food service industry, as it enables particularly thorough cleaning.
- Viscose variants are washable up to 60 °C and retain their shape, structure, and absorbency at this temperature.
Additional important tips:
- Washing kitchen towels regularly at the maximum temperature recommended by the manufacturer helps effectively remove stubborn stains and bacteria.
- Fabric softener should be avoided when washing dish towels, as it reduces absorbency.
- Drying towels should be hung in a well-ventilated area to prevent unpleasant odors and mold growth.
- Wash colored towels separately to preserve the vibrancy of colors and patterns.
- Allow the towels to dry completely before reusing them.
- Depending on the product, dish towels may be ironed—please follow the specific instructions. Cotton and half-linen varieties, in particular, can be visually enhanced by ironing, resulting in a smooth, well-maintained surface. Ironing kills any remaining germs and can improve the towels’ absorbency.
Dish towels should be thoroughly rinsed after each use to remove food residue and moisture. This ensures hygienic conditions in the kitchen and during service. With the right care, your Karlowsky dish towels remain durable, reliable helpers in daily use – for professional standards and hygienic cleanliness in every kitchen.
