To fold pool towels and beach towels, fold the towel in half lengthwise, then fold it into thirds or halves until it forms a neat rectangle. Rolling works better for baskets and rental stations. Direct Textile Store supplies 30 x 60 pool towels in case packs for commercial buyers.

How Do You Fold Pool Towels?
Start with the towel flat, fold it in half lengthwise, and then fold it into thirds or halves from the short end. This gives you a uniform stack that is easy to count, grab and restock.
A consistent fold matters more in a business than at home. Staff can set up a pool deck faster, and guests see a clean, uniform display.
The Standard Stack Fold
Lay a 30 x 60 towel flat with the stripes facing up. Fold it in half lengthwise so it measures 15 x 60 inches. Then fold it in thirds from the short end to make a rectangle about 15 x 20 inches.
If you prefer a squarer stack, fold the 15 x 60 strip in half twice instead. You end up with a 15 x 15 inch square. Pick one method and use it every time so stacks stay even.
The Rolled Towel
To roll a pool towel, fold it in half lengthwise, then roll it tightly from one short end to the other. Tuck the loose end underneath or leave it facing down in the basket.
Rolled towels take up more vertical space but look neat in open baskets, carts and shelves. They are also easy for guests to pull out one at a time.
Fold or Roll: Quick Comparison
| Method | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Thirds fold | Shelves, cabinets, linen carts | Stacks evenly and is simple to count |
| Square fold | Lockers, cubbies, small shelves | Compact and fits tight spaces |
| Roll | Baskets, spa or resort displays | Easy for guests to grab one at a time |
| Flat drape | Poolside loungers | Quick setup, but towels are exposed to sun and splashes |
Where and How Should You Store Pool Towels?
Store pool towels in a dry, ventilated spot, off the ground and out of direct sun. Towels that stay damp in a closed space can develop odors and mildew.
Storing Pool Towels Outside
If towels must stay outdoors, use a covered cabinet, a shaded rack or a ventilated bin with a lid. Keep clean towels separate from used ones. Fold or roll only dry towels before putting them away.
Where do you hang wet pool towels? Use a towel rack, a railing or a drying line in a shaded, breezy area. Spread each towel out as flat as you can so air reaches the whole surface.
Storing Pool Towels Indoors
Indoors, open shelving and linen carts work well. Label shelves by towel type so staff return stacks to the right spot. Rotate stock so older towels get used first and wear stays even.
How Often Should You Wash Pool Towels?
For a business, launder pool towels after every use by a guest. A towel that has been used, even briefly, should go to the laundry rather than back on the shelf.
Wash new towels before they go into service. The product listing for the CABANA stripe towel notes that washing and drying lets you experience the true texture and softness. Dry towels completely before folding or storing them.
Many businesses also run a separate pool towel load. Chlorine, sunscreen and sweat can build up, so keep these towels apart from items like kitchen linens.
Is the CABANA Stripe Playa Royal Blue Towel a Good Fit for Pool Decks?
Yes. The CABANA Stripe Playa Royal Blue Towel is a 30 x 60 pool towel in a 2x2 royal blue stripe, which gives guests a full-size towel and gives your deck a consistent look. The listing shows a weight of 10.5 lbs.
That 30 x 60 size covers most people comfortably on a lounger. It also folds easily into the thirds or rolled formats described above. The bold royal blue stripe works for resorts, gyms, apartment communities and clubs.
The same style is available as washcloths, hand towels and bath towels. That lets a hotel or spa match locker room, guest room and pool towels in one look. These items ship from Florida.
Some buyers search for personalized beach towels or monogrammed beach towels for branding. If logos matter for your property, confirm decoration options with the supplier before you order.
How Many Pool Towels Does a Business Need?
A common rule of thumb is to stock at least three sets: one in use, one in the laundry and one on the shelf. Busy properties often need more, especially during peak season.
Start with your maximum number of guests at the pool or beach at one time. Multiply that by the number of towels each guest might use in a day, then multiply by three for your working par level. Adjust as you see how your laundry cycle runs.
For beach towels and pool towels alike, case packs make it simple to reorder the same size and color. Matching stock also means you never end up with mixed stacks that look uneven on the deck. Tax-exempt purchasing is available for qualifying organizations.
