Face cloths have been disappearing from the British hotels at an alarming rate! Pack dry face cloths in individual, sandwich-sized zipper bags. As you use the face cloths, the bags will provide a way to store them away from your clothes and the rest of your belongings as you travel from place to place. Label the bags if you are packing for multiple travellers.
