This also helps with greying color that some towels eventually get. And before you wonder, yes I took my own towel when I tanned at someone else's salon. Welcome to Ghetto Western Nebraska! |

It'll last forever using it in a tanning salon and you can't beat the results. And yes, I do own a commercial laundromat next door to my tanning salon.... I've never seen a bronzer stain on any of my towels. Tide for washes, Downey for the rinse and the Snuggle dryer sheets... I'd swear some of my tanners come in just to smell the towels!
