Paper Towels, the bane of a business owners existence

2/2/2009

Lets examine the common C-fold paper towel in a little more detail. In order for it to be produced, trees must be cut. They have to be shipped to your business. They have to be purchased in large quantities and stored somewhere in your business. An employee has to un-box and load them into a dispenser. The trash must be emptied everyday, sometimes more in addition to the purchase of plastic trash bags. Unless your dispenser is filled properly every time, the towels may fall on the floor and look unsightly. Many users take way too many to dry their hands. Certain individuals will always inevitably clog up your toilets with the towels on occasion. Now you have to deal with plumbers and other maintenance challenges. 

Installing a modern high powered hand dryer (not the wimpy ones of yesteryear) eliminates lots of overhead. (Saving around $959/yr for a family owned restaurant) After you try one of these for yourself, you may want to even install one in your home! We source these dryers wholesale, if you would like a quote for your business, please contact us.

One other item to note, is to try to make sure your restroom doors open outward if possible. This enables people to avoid touching the door/handles with their hands on the way out.
