Years ago, I went to the NAPA parts house for some parts. I saw bundles of towels that were rejected by hotels. They were selling them of $10 for a bundle of five towels so I bought two bundles. I was going to use them to clean the cars.
Most were solid white and had the hotel names on them. The only thing wrong may have been a bad weave or seam on the end. My wife confiscated them for the bathrooms. We are STILL using them.
Cool! Yes, those hotel towels have to be practically bullet proof, or they’d be replacing them every week.
We have four towels that we bought from a hotel (really, we bought them) in the early ‘90s, and they’re still very much in use and not looking raggedy at all.
Although we do have a LOT of towels (I’m a towel freak — love those bath sheets), and they don’t come up in the rotation too often.
What a bargain!
