Kitchen Towels

A kitchen towel can refer to numerous types of towels that can be found in or purchased for the average kitchen. Typical towels, especially those called dishtowels, are rectangular in shape and may be approximately 24 inches by 18 inches (60.96 cm by 45.72 cm). Size can vary greatly, and since many towels are made of absorbent cotton and subject to hot water washes, shrinkage is common and expected.

Sometimes people label various kinds of towels that may be used in the kitchen, which include dishtowels, tea towels, hand towels, and larger towels that may clean up counters. Paper towels count too, though these can have numerous uses. They are considered more sanitary by some and preferable because they are disposable and a single towel won't be employed for multiple tasks.
