Guest towels are special decorative towels which are designated for, or set aside for guests to use. Some people keep guest bath towels that are a different color in their bathroom for the use of guests so that visitors are not using the family’s bathroom towels and this is usually done by buying a completely different color. For instance, the family bath linens may be navy, or red and the guest towels bright yellow. There is no confusion either way. Other people just keep a stack of fresh clean towels that guests can help themselves to but do not bother to buy special colored guest linen towels, or special sets.
If guests have a separate bathroom, linen guest towels will be hung up ready for use, or folded neatly and placed on the bed as an indication that they have been supplied specially for their use. It is much better to have special bath towels to place in bedrooms and bathrooms for guests instead of having to search the linen cupboard for matching guest towels that do not look too worn. Setting some personalized guest towels aside can make things much easier.
If there is only one shared bathroom, putting some guest towels in the bedroom tells the guest which towels to use, or clean bath towels for guests could be hung in a particular place in the bathroom and pointed out to the guest.
The bare minimum that is required when it comes to guest towels is a big bath towel in case your visitor wants to take a shower, or a bath, and guest hand towels can be very useful for drying hands and faces. Providing clean guest face towels and washcloths is also a good idea. Identifying guest towels is important for the visitor and for members of the family. So if you do not wish to buy bright colored towels that stand out from your normal ones, why not buy a set of embroidered guest towels that are embroidered with the word ‘Guest’ ? That way there is no doubt about the fact that visitors may use these monogrammed guest towels.
Changing guest towels is a matter of choice. You may prefer to provide fresh guest bath towels each day, tell guests to help themselves, or give them one set of linen towels and hope that they last for the entire length of the person’s stay. The latter saves on laundry costs.
