A big drying job demands a big towel! The Absorber XXL gives you drying power that is superior to a terry cloth towel or leather chamois - and it's not just because of its size. The uniform, sponge-like pore structure and unique PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) material give the Absorber XXL enhanced capillary action, drawing water away from surfaces more effectively than any other large drying tower you can find.
