Custom HeadboardsThe Best Washcloths and Face Towels in Canada
Linen Chest face towels and washcloths are made from premium materials like Egyptian cotton, zero-twist cotton, bamboo blends, and modal for exceptional softness and absorbency. With generous 13” x 13” dimensions and ideal GSM weights, they feel plush in the hand while offering excellent durability for everyday use.
Many styles are OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring they’re free from harmful substances. Designed to stay soft after repeated washing, they dry quickly, hold their shape, and bring comfort and quality to daily routines. That’s why Canadians trust Linen Chest’s washcloths and face towels for everyday care.
How to choose a face towel
When choosing the best towel for face care, look for one that’s soft, absorbent, quick-drying, and the right size for your needs. Cotton, bamboo, and microfibre are all excellent choices.
Also consider the weave—tighter weaves feel smoother, while looser weaves may offer light exfoliation. Check for reinforced stitching at the edges to extend the towel’s lifespan. If you have sensitive skin, avoid heavily textured fabrics that might cause irritation. Above all, select a towel that stays comfortable after repeated washing and maintains its softness and shape over time.

What makes a great washcloth?
A great wash cloth is soft, absorbent, and gentle on your skin.
- Cotton washcloths – Soft, classic, absorbent
- Microfibre face cloth – Removes makeup easily, gentle on skin
- Muslin washcloths – Lightly exfoliating, soft, and antimicrobial
- Bamboo washcloths – Soft, antibacterial, great for sensitive skin
Look for reinforced edges and smooth weaving for best results.
Aim for a comfortable weight. While high GSM (grams per square metre) is a sign of quality for bath towels, a washcloth that is too thick may take longer to dry and be less flexible for daily use. A medium-weight cloth offers a great balance of absorbency and quick drying.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a washcloth?
A washcloth is a small cloth used for washing your face and body. Its textured surface helps to gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin for a deeper clean.
What’s the difference between a washcloth and a towel?
Washcloths are small and used for cleansing, while towels are larger and meant for drying. Face towels are usually similar in size to washcloths but serve a different purpose—they’re intended specifically for gently drying the face after cleansing.
What are washcloths used for?
Washcloths are used for cleansing your face or body, removing makeup, gentle exfoliation, or applying treatments. Their soft texture provides a gentle yet effective way to remove oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from your skin.
How do you use a washcloth?
Wet, apply cleanser, gently wash skin, rinse, then hang the cloth to dry. This final step is crucial for preventing bacteria growth and keeping the cloth fresh for next use.
How do you wash face towels?
Wash face towels in warm water with mild detergent every few uses. Skip fabric softener for best absorbency. Frequent washing is a key hygiene practice that helps prevent the buildup of bacteria and oil within the towel fibres.
What's the best face washcloth?
The best washcloth for your face depends on your skin’s needs—cotton offers softness, microfibre is great for makeup removal, muslin provides gentle exfoliation, and bamboo is ideal for sensitive skin. The right option depends on whether you want a gentle feel, deep cleansing, or something suited to your specific skin type.
