These two materials are not the same, and you should employ them for different tasks at your business. While both are absorbent, they have different appearances and textures, and you may want to decide on a case-by-case basis which works best for your business. Ask yourself these questions while making your decision:
- Will the customers use the towel? Terry cloth towels appear plush and inviting, and they work best as bath and beach towels.
- Will you use the towel to clean up spills you need to disappear quickly and quietly? In addition to their impressive absorbency, microfiber towels are adept at sweeping up other residues.
- Are you concerned about the environment? You don’t usually need a chemical spray when you use microfiber towels because the fiber picks up dry dirt naturally. You can also use less water thanks to its absorbency.
