Wipes and Towels

Nonwoven Fabrics in Wipes

Disposable towels are a relatively new invention, made from nonwoven fibres. They were first popularised by the hospital supply industry, but now relatively common in resorts, hotels, beauty salons, day cares and similar fields.  Their main advantage is the hygiene and cleanliness that they guarantee for each user. Oftentimes, they are made from some recycled content, and can be recycled after use.  Disposable towels save hotel and salon owners times and money by preventing the necessity of washing and drying traditional, cotton towels.  Disposable cleaning wipes are also nonwoven but are meant to just clean a smaller mess and then be discarded directly after.  Wipes are not nearly as strong as the disposable towels but they are stronger than their paper towel counterparts and handle wetness much better.

There is an ever growing number of wipes for a myriad of uses.  Wipes' use around the world has increased as well.  Wipes have made a huge impact on the way we live and work.  They are durable, easy to use, cost effective and lightweight.
