Technical Specifications
These towels represent the ideal balance between substantial fabric density and efficient performance. The precise engineering ensures optimal moisture absorption while maintaining a lightweight, quick-drying profile that is essential for high-efficiency laundry operations.
Construction Details
The innovative warp knit construction is the hallmark of the Marathon™ range. This sophisticated textile engineering technique creates a dense, uniform fabric structure that inherently resists pilling, snagging, and premature wear. Double-stitched hems provide additional reinforcement, extending the towel's operational lifecycle and maintaining its professional appearance through hundreds of industrial wash cycles.
Performance Characteristics
The Marathon™ towels excel in critical performance metrics. The 100% cotton construction delivers exceptional absorbency, rapidly wicking moisture and providing superior drying capabilities. The warp knit technology ensures remarkable durability, with the ability to withstand over 200 industrial wash cycles without compromising fabric integrity or aesthetic quality.
Textile Technology
At the core of the Marathon™ range is a groundbreaking snag-proof surface treatment. This innovative technology prevents fabric pulling and deterioration, addressing one of the most significant challenges in commercial textile management. The result is a towel that maintains its smooth texture, professional appearance, and structural integrity throughout its extended lifecycle.
Sustainability Credentials
Committed to environmental responsibility, these towels are crafted from natural, biodegradable cotton fibres. The durable construction reduces replacement frequency, thereby minimising textile waste. The production process emphasises resource efficiency and sustainable manufacturing practices, aligning with modern environmental standards.
Hygienic Properties
The natural cotton fibres provide inherent hypoallergenic properties, making these towels suitable for guests with sensitive skin. The breathable construction prevents bacterial growth and moisture retention, contributing to enhanced hygiene standards in hospitality and healthcare environments.
Commercial Suitability
Specifically designed for commercial applications, the Marathon™ towels meet the rigorous demands of hotels, spas, fitness centres, and healthcare facilities. The combination of advanced textile engineering, superior materials, and meticulous construction ensures consistent performance across high-intensity usage scenarios.
Washing Guidelines
Proper washing is crucial to maintaining the exceptional quality of your Glodina Marathon™ towels. Machine wash in warm or hot water, not exceeding 60°C, which is optimal for commercial laundering. Use a quality detergent specifically formulated for cotton textiles, ensuring thorough yet gentle cleaning. To preserve colour vibrancy and fabric integrity, separate colours during initial washes and avoid overloading the washing machine.
Drying Recommendations
Tumble dry on medium to high heat to restore the towels' signature fluffiness and maintain their luxurious texture. Remove promptly from the dryer to minimise wrinkles and potential fabric stress. Line drying is acceptable but may result in a slightly stiffer texture. Before drying, shake the towels vigorously to restore the terry pile and maximise absorbency.
Maintenance Protocols
Preserve the Marathon™ towels' performance by avoiding fabric softeners, which can significantly reduce absorbency and potentially damage the cotton fibres. Bleach should be used sparingly and only when necessary for stain removal, with oxygen-based bleach recommended as the gentlest option. Ironing is unnecessary and not recommended, as the terry pile construction maintains its texture naturally.
Stain Treatment Strategy
Immediate stain treatment is critical for maintaining towel appearance and longevity. Pre-soak heavily soiled towels before washing, using appropriate stain removers tailored to specific stain types. In commercial settings, adhere to your facility's established stain treatment protocols to ensure consistent textile care.
Commercial Laundry Compatibility
The Marathon™ towels are engineered to excel in commercial laundry environments. They are compatible with industrial washing equipment and can withstand over 200 wash cycles when proper care protocols are followed. Implement a systematic rotation strategy to ensure even wear and extend the towels' operational lifecycle.
Storage and Inventory Management
Store towels in a clean, dry environment with adequate air circulation to prevent moisture buildup and potential mildew development. Rotate towel inventory regularly to ensure uniform wear and maintain a consistently professional appearance. Inspect towels periodically for signs of wear, and replace them when they show significant thinning or permanent staining.
First Use Preparation
Before initial use, wash new towels to remove any manufacturing residues and maximise their absorbency. This preliminary wash helps activate the cotton fibres and prepares the towels for optimal performance. Avoid washing with items containing zippers, hooks, or Velcro that could potentially snag the delicate terry fabric.
Longevity Preservation
To ensure maximum lifespan, follow precise washing temperatures, use appropriate detergent quantities, and avoid harsh chemical treatments. The Marathon™ towels' advanced warp knit construction provides inherent durability, but proper care is essential to maintaining their exceptional quality and performanc
