towel

A towel is a piece of absorbent fabric or paper used for drying or wiping a body or a surface. It draws moisture through direct contact.
In households, several types of fabric towels are used, including hand towels, bath towels, and kitchen towels. At the beach, people use beach towels.
Paper towels are provided in commercial or office bathrooms via a dispenser for users to dry their hands. In households they are used for minor, precision, or particularly dirty jobs of wiping, cleaning, and drying.

    Safe to remove this heated towel rail without draining it?

    Hi there, Can I simply undo the screws on this heater towel rail, make sure it's off and prop it up while I paint the wall behind it? I saw tutorials that said to drain towel rails but mine doesn't have any controls, just a switch outside the bathroom. Thanks!

    Water filled towel rail overheating

    I have a water filled towel rail which has been working for several years. It is now getting very hot and making a noise. Do these loose water over time and need topping up? Could this be the problem or a faulty thermostats or element? Any way to diagnose the problem? Thanks
