I need new towels. The seams have unraveled on the first batch I bought. (And I'm talking about after the first couple of washings.) I would like to purchase some from a different place this time. I checked at Sam's & they only had blue & white. I've decided not to go with white this time because of the stains.Do any of you order yours? I've seen places on-line & that advertise in the trade mags, but I wanted a recommendation. I use the hand towel size & I don't want paper thin either. Any suggestions where to get?Thanks!

Although white does stain alot, you might find it better than any colored towel you might find. We found out that our bed sanitizers, and cleaning products will fade the towels badly, leaving them with splotches. The colored towels wind up looking a lot worse.

Ginger, All I have seen at Sam's are the blue and white. We tried the blue at one time. Raveled alot and faded very quick. Also we can bleach the white if needed.

Ginger,We bought our last batch of towels from BSH Textiles that are in the trade mags. They were suprisingly nice! We use purple and yellow, which are usually hard to find colors and they had them in stock. For bed cleaning we use white towels...that way the bed towels don't take as much of a beating.

Bober,I looked on the site & they do have a selection of colors. Did you order the regular tanning towels or deluxe? Also, have you noticed a problem when bed cleaner gets on your colored towels. I know you're not using them to clean beds, but sometimes it happens!Thanks for the info!

It has been a few months since I bought the last batch, so bear with my forgetfullness (I am not in the salon at the moment or I could check the invoice)but I believe I paid approx. $14 a dozen and I am pretty sure they are the regular size, not premium. They are really nice, fluffy and soft! I had a couple in the batch that were unraveling as soon as I took them out of the package and I called them and the sent me new ones! Gotta love that!
