Handsfree Towels


We often find that public restrooms provide towel dispensers that are touchless. They are sensor-operated, dispensing a clean towel without using the hands. Or they are center-folded with a towel lead so that one can pull down a clean towel without touching anything else. It is important to have that towel after washing one's hands and also perhaps to open the exit door. We appreciate that the establishment provided these towels so that we could leave the restroom with germ-free hands.
What about using towels at home after handwashing, especially before preparing food or eating? Using kitchen cloth towels for drying hands is OK but not sanitary. If you want to prevent cross-contamination before cooking, you need a clean paper towel to dry your hands. Preparing meat dishes, particularlly, requires clean hands in order to avoid e.coli contamination. I even use throw-away plastic gloves for this purpose.
A touchless towel dispenser is available for the home. Sensor-operated, it detects different perforations (full or half-sheet) and can sit on the counter or be wall-mounted, and comes in 3 finishes. It is the answer to a healthy kitchen.
