Product Alert: Tea Towels It Pays to Have them tested

Sometimes it pays to have things tested when dealing with a new company or item purchased. Testing a new product which claims to be one thing could very possibly be something totally different, and could save you a lot of time and money.

 A great example of this happened just only a few weeks ago,  “A Commercial Laundry” in Victoria just received a very large delivery of tea towels from a new supplier in the trade who promised to deliver 100% Pure Cotton tea towels...But when the laundry “smelt a rat” upon delivery, the tea towels were tested seeming "to good of a deal to be true" AWTA ( Australian Wool Testing Authority) a highly regarded testing facility ran test on the tea towels.

The delivered tea towels were shown to be only 54% cotton the balance being polyester.

So all in all you sort of get what you pay for, lesson learnt if you seem to come upon such a deal "to good to be true" sometimes it is just that. Contact the AWTA, you will have to fill out a request form to start the process of testing, but in this case it was the best decision. No matter how good the deal seems, its just too good to be true when fabrics are involoved.
