I have a question. Every one says that polyester in cotton clothes will scratch. I went out and ordered the Big blue towel from CMA. After I recieved it I looked at the label and it said"80% polyester, 20% polyamide Made in Korea."

:eek:

This was to be my trying towel but after reading that it had 80% polester this scares me. What do you guys think:nixweiss
 
The difference between microfiber towels with polyester and bath towels with polyester lies mostly in the way they're designed and manufactured.



With a typical bath towel, the fibers are much more coarse and the design of them is more like a loop - which combined with the coarse nature of the threads is prone to scratching.



With a typical microfiber, the fibers are *very* fine - if I recall correctly, the thickness of a microfiber strand is something like 0.02 somethings (not inches, not mm's, but some other measurement). They are also woven, so there aren't any peaks/loops/etc.



Microfiber, as long as it's fairly high quality, is much less likely to scratch than a cotton towel. If you do a quick google search on Microfiber towels, I'm certain there'd be plenty of info on the distinct differences.

I think Geekysteve nailed it. :up



Also when you're reading you'll find a claim that 70/30 blend towels are "better", but this isn't always the case, and once again it's "all in the construction".
