Cotton towels are staple items in hotels, motels, rental properties, Airbnbs, and households, but a common challenge is linting.

Despite the challenges of linting, especially in yarn-dyed towels like the popular cabana towel, our manufacturers have perfected the craft of producing high-quality, colorful towels that meet industry standards. Our towels are made from premium long-staple combed cotton yarn, ensuring that lint levels remain within the acceptable range set by major retailers and certified by leading laboratories such as SGS and Consumer Testing Laboratory (CTL).
Linting in cotton towels, particularly those made with yarn-dyed fabrics, is perfectly normal, especially during the first few washes. However, with proper manufacturing techniques and high-quality materials, lint loss is significantly reduced over time. To put it in perspective — a good towel will shed less than 1% of its weight. If you buy bulk cabana towels from Monarch Brands it will shed much less than that!
Monarch Brands is committed to providing wholesale towels that exceed industry standards, ensuring an exceptional product that balances vibrant color with durability and minimal lint.
