Does anyone know of a company that sells soft paper towels. It's getting to be to much hassle bringing the towels home every night. I have no room for washer dryer.

Thanks,
Ron.

Don't do it! When I first bought my salon I used Sparkle, as that is what the previous owner used. I didn't know any better and kept on using them until last year.

They are not good for the acrylics no matter how soft they are. The will still damage in the long haul.

This past year we took our towels to the laundry mat. You can was several loads at once and then bring them back to the salon for your employees for fold.
Slow season I bring them home.

ps. Your clients are use to have towels. They will not accept the papertowel thing very well.

We use a clean soft old towel to wipe the beds the first time, then a paper towel the second time, and we only use Bounty, we found after much experience that they are the only ones to absorb quickly and not leave little fuzzies paper towel pieces all over the bed and floor. Do you not have room to put a washing machine and dryer in a back room, not that expensive and well worth it.

What about a stackable washer and dryer? THey don't take up too much room at all.

I'm sure I could make room somewhere but the town wont allow me to put one in because of septic system being to small. So it's either keep doing towels home or paper.

How can you work all day and then go home and work at doing laundry.
This is just crazy in my opinion.

Kleenex Viva paper towels work well on the beds. They feel like cloth and they don't scratch the acrylic.

I agree with Shantilly, we use Bounty here. The back room is always stocked, I swear the people at Wal Mart look at me like I'm crazy when I by 10 of the 8 paks!!! There's just something that turns me off about using a towel to clean every bed. I guess that my OCD coming out:)

Thank's Moto and candy. I'll try the Bounty or Kleenex viva paper towels. One more question do you leave the rolls in the rooms for the pepole to use on themself?
What if they decide to use half a roll ?
Could be very costly.

Thanks for the answers.

Ronnie.
