In the food industry, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is essential. A food service towel is a specially designed cleaning cloth used in restaurants, kitchens, hotels, and food processing facilities to ensure a sanitary working environment. Unlike ordinary cloths, food service towels are made from non-woven materials that meet food-grade hygiene standards, providing superior cleaning performance and safety.
Food service towels are typically made from viscose and polyester fibers, or wood pulp combined with polypropylene through advanced non-woven technologies such as spunlace or needle-punched bonding.
Viscose fibers provide excellent water and oil absorption.
Polyester fibers ensure durability and tear resistance.
Wood pulp + PP composites offer a soft texture and high strength, suitable for both wet and dry use.
These materials make the towels lint-free, highly absorbent, and safe for food contact applications.
Food service towels are produced using spunlace non-woven technology, where high-pressure water jets entangle the fibers to form a uniform, strong, and soft fabric.
Key features of this process include:
No adhesives or chemical binders – ensuring safety for food contact.
Uniform texture – consistent performance and absorbency.
Customizable weights and colors – often blue, red, yellow, or white to prevent cross-contamination in different cleaning zones.
Food service towels are widely used in:
Cleaning restaurant tables, counters, and kitchen surfaces.
Wiping oil and grease from cooking equipment.
Maintaining hygiene in food preparation areas.
Hotels, cafes, and catering services for daily cleaning tasks.
Food factories for sanitizing workbenches and tools.
Their high absorbency and reusability make them an ideal alternative to paper towels, reducing waste and cost.
