Ring spun cotton is worth understanding if you're buying face cloths at institutional volume, because it's the detail that determines whether they still feel soft after the hundredth commercial wash. Ring spinning combs the fibres before twisting them, removing the shorter, weaker threads and leaving a more uniform yarn — up to 20 twists per inch. Open-end spinning skips that combing step, which keeps costs down but produces a coarser yarn that roughens faster under repeat washing.
At 400gsm, these face cloths carry enough weight for genuine absorbency without taking forever to dry, which matters when you're turning them over daily across a hotel or care setting. They're part of the same 400gsm institutional family as our bath towels, bath sheets and hand towels, so a full room set can come from matching stock rather than mixed suppliers.

Why Buy
Ring spinning is a genuine construction difference, not a marketing description — it's what keeps these face cloths soft through the volume of washing an institutional setting puts them through, rather than roughening up the way open-end cotton does after a few dozen cycles.
FAQs
Why ring spun rather than open-end for face cloths specifically?
Face cloths get more direct skin contact than any other towel size, so the softness difference ring spinning provides shows up more than it would on a bath sheet. It's also the same reason it holds up better to frequent institutional washing.
What sizes and pack quantities do you stock?
30×30cm face cloths, from Pack of 12 through to Box of 9600 — the full breakdown is in the pack selector above. Our towel sizes guide shows how a face cloth compares with every other size.
Do you stock matching hand towels, bath towels and bath sheets at the same weight?
Yes — our 400gsm institutional range covers hand towels, bath towels and bath sheets at the same 400gsm ring spun spec, so a full room set matches.
Is 400gsm heavy enough for a proper face cloth, or does it feel thin?
400gsm gives genuine absorbency for a face cloth's size — it's our fastest-drying institutional weight, which is the point for high-turnover settings rather than a compromise on quality.
Can we set up a trade account for repeat ordering?
