All the things you need to know about hand towels

When you visit a public bathroom, there really isn’t much chance that you are going to think about the things that are in there. Especially the towels that are there to dry your hands. Many public bathrooms decide to have hand towels in there because they are a hygienic way to ensure that hands are dry.

When it comes to choosing hand towels to buy, one of the first things that you need to think about is the folds that they have. Folds will have an impact on how well they come out of the dispenser as well as how easy they are to load too.

There are a few different forms of folded hand towels that you can choose from and here are some of the most popular.

C-Fold

A C-Fold towel is the most common type of folded towel that you will find in public bathrooms. The thing that frustrates many people about these type of towels is that it is difficult to control how many paper towels come out when you pull on them.

You will often end up taking several sheets at a time, which is much more than you will need. This is the exact reason why they are often only suitable for areas of low standard hygiene use.

Z Fold

If hygiene is important, then you need to think about Z Fold towel. These are clean cut towels and they open automatically. When this type of hand towel is used it will only dispense one towel at a time, and they are ready and waiting for the next towel to be used when the previous one has been taken which means that the dispensing is controlled.

These towels will often fit most dispensers and they are easy to source, you can choose them in a narrow width if this works better for you.

V Fold

Another easily controlled towel is the V Fold which is one that will open automatically. This dispenser will dispense only one towel at a time which not only is hygienic, but also stops wastage too.

Whilst these towels are a lower price (which is great for keeping your costs down) it is important to remember that these towels are also a lower quality than others that you can buy. You will also need to buy a C-Fold dispenser in order to use these towels.

As you can see, there is so much more to hand towels then you may realise, so make sure you consider your options and buy one that is just right for you.
