Why you should use disposable towels in your business

Disposable towels are an economical option when purchasing work materials, as they offer an easy way to save on washing, drying, electricity, water and hygiene. They are designed for use in Hairdressers, Beauty Centres, Spas, Gyms, Care Homes, Massage Centres, Sports Facilities and Hostels. And the list continues, since more and more businesses are choosing to use this product.

If hygiene is an important factor in your business, disposable towels are an ideal solution, as they allow you to maintain an optimal level of cleanliness and help improve customer service thanks to being single-use, thin and comfortable.

Materials used in disposable towels

There are two main types of single-use towels, depending on the material from which they are made. On one hand, there are the “Air-Laid” towels, specially designed for hair drying in hair salons, as well as for use in Beauty Centres, Spas or Gyms.

Disposable towels made from “Air-Laid” are a type of paper similar to a non-woven material, but with at least 85% wood pulp and ethylene-vinyl acetate. They are known for their soft feel, high absorbency, being latex-free, and being hypoallergenic and insoluble.

On the other hand, there are the Spunlace towels, which are lint-free, do not fall apart, and are used in manicures, hair salons, gyms and hostels, as well as in care homes, massage centres, beauty centres, spas or sports facilities.

Spunlace — the material used in these disposable towels — is a technical fabric, known as a non-woven fabric, created by entangling loose fibres. Interlacing the fibres in different directions gives the material isotropic properties, meaning it offers the same resistance in every direction. Disposable towels made with this material do not tear or disintegrate. They are white, hypoallergenic and non-sterile.

Types and sizes of single-use towels

Disposable towels come in various sizes and are made from different materials to offer the best service and quality depending on each person’s, profession’s and sector’s needs. However, when referring to single-use towels, the most common sizes are:

  • 20×40 cm
  • 40×80 cm
  • 80×120 cm
  • 80×140 cm
  • 80×160 cm

In addition, depending on the professional sector in which they are used, it is also common to find them in multiples of 70. Therefore, the most typical sizes in this format are:

  • 20×35 cm
  • 40×70 cm
  • 80×140 cm

The most common types of disposable towels are Spunlace and Air-Laid, two materials that offer excellent comfort thanks to their soft touch, durability and absorbency. Moreover, as they do not disintegrate and are lint-free, they are widely used in sectors such as hairdressing and beauty.

Main uses of disposable paper towels

Disposable paper towels are versatile and highly practical. For this reason, they are frequently used in many different actions, sectors and situations. In fact, thanks to the high-quality materials with which they are made, they are also suitable for demanding environments such as the healthcare sector.
