Grey Towels Reduce Replacement Rates by 20-30% and Offer Cost Savings for Boutique Hotels and Short-Term Rentals

🚿 Hotels are increasingly opting for grey towels over traditional white due to practicality and cost-effectiveness. Grey towels, which cost 10-15% more than white, last longer—12-16 months compared to 8 months for white—saving on replacements. They reduce laundry costs by not requiring high-heat, bleach-intensive washes, and minimize noticeable stains. Industry data suggests darker towels cut replacement rates by 20-30%. This shift is particularly beneficial in short-term rentals, where quick turnovers demand durable and stain-resistant linens.
