How to use - exfoliating body towel & wash towel

printable version

Exfoliating is the process of assisting to remove old dead skin cells from the surface of ones body. In this process, the natural beauty of your skin is allowed to "SHINE".

There are many Internet sites with technical and medical information on the exfoliating process, so we will not try to cover it in this posting. Just a word of medical caution: If your skin becomes red and/or uncomfortable, STOP your procedures and ask for competent medical advice.

Other mechanical device products that have been used are natural sponges called "Loofah" and are NOT as easy to use and do NOT form fit to the users hand and the body.

Therefore, we believe that our Body Towel and/or Wash Towel are superior products to the Loofah.

Our Body Towel and our Wash Towel are both suitable to be used in the bathtub, shower, or sauna. However, you may find that the smaller size of the Wash Towel is easier to use in the bathtub.

The main advantage of the larger Body towel is that when you are standing, it is easier to hold with two hands and work the hard to reach areas behind your back and under your feet.

However when in the bathtub, the smaller Wash towel may be draped over your toes of your foot and used to scrub and work the areas of your feet and ankles while you are relaxing in the water.

Just place the foot with the towel underneath the bare foot and press down with the bare foot onto the Wash towel and then with some force slide the bare foot over the surface of the Wash towel.

You can easily work the areas under your opposite foot, on top of your toes and under the middle and bottoms of your foot and heels.

You may also easily slide the foot with the wash towel up and around the area of your lower legs and around your ankles. When finished with one foot, simply change the towel to the other foot and repeat the scrubing on the opposite foot.

Next take the Wash towel in your hand and scrub the remainder of each leg, your knees, elbows, arms and upper body and your head, neck, face and so on.

Lie back in the water and enjoy your massage scrub.

Feel the difference !

When finished in the bathtub, you may use the Body towel to dry yourself off. If you haven't scrubed you back, just hold the Body towel with both hands and work the area of your back.

A Linen material towel absorbs a lot more water than a normal cotton towel.

When finished, be sure to stretch out or hang your wash towel and Body towel to completely dry before your next use.

If you feel a little tingle on your skin, you might try rubbing in a small amount of high quality body lotion in those areas.

Healthy Linen Products may be purchased online from our Internet Store or through Amazon.com

Linen abuse is allowed in some conditions - he he he

If your linen is new, hard and "tough"and scratchy, then consider our tips for abusing - code word for softening it.

Wash your linen and when it is still wet beat it with a wooden pastry roller or other clean smooth wooden object. beat it and while you are doing it rid yourself of your daily frustrations.

But be careful where you are seen abusing your linen or you may have to answer some questions poised by the local law enforcement folks. Or at least your neighbors will wonder about you.

Yes, linen gets softer and better with each use and washing.

Just don't fold and bend linen tightly or sharply as linen fibers easily break when folded.

Stain removal on linen fabric

Red wine stains should be covered at once with sugar (or salt) to absorb the moisture. If the wine stain has dried, try using club soda to moisten the spot.

Sugar or salt must be wiped off quickly.

The following link has some excellent stain removal recommendations. --click here for strain removal chart --


If your linen table cloth is stained, try washing it in white vinegar. I suggest that you first test a small spot before doing the whole thing. The vinegar tends to neutralize stains and oxidation and is very gentle.

Also try a product similar to Oxyclean as this will more than likely take out the spots. Use a large bowl big enough to hold the cloth use use about 3 big scoops of Oxyclean. For difficult stains soak over night or for a few days. I suggest that you change the water and add Oxyclean several times sometimes after the water sits a while. Use real hot water with the Oxyclean - BUT NOT boiling water.


As with all things, we can not guarantee anything. Common sense applies.

I am not associated with the company manufacturing Oxyclean nor do I endorse this product other than suggesting that you consider using it for your difficult stain removal tasks.
