Trusty Laminated Hand Towels for Spills, Sanitisation, and all Your Drying Needs
In the age of digital innovation and high-tech machinery to accomplish even the simplest of tasks, sometimes we forget the wonder of going back to basics, and that’s why we are so passionate about our premium laminated hand towels. This superb 19th-century innovation continues to impress thanks to its versatility, durability, affordability factor, and user ease.
Whether you need to soak up a big spill, sanitise a workspace, or dry those freshly washed hands, laminated hand towels are a trusty solution enjoyed by many around the globe. They are versatile enough to be used in any sector (from hospitality to administration), and thanks to the affordability factor, they won’t break the bank. Here we explore their interesting history and their undeniable benefits.
From Humble Beginnings to Soaring Heights
While paper products have been around for thousands of years – with some of the first documented paper products arising in Ancient Egypt in the form of papyrus paper – paper towels as we know them today appeared a little later in the historical canon. They were invented by two brothers from Philadelphia in the United States. In 1879, the two brothers, Irvin and Clarence Scott formed the Scott Paper Company. The pair are often credited for being the first to sell paper in the form of rolls and were known for their famed 1000-sheet tissue rolls. This innovation first occurred thanks to a familiar medical problem in schools: the all-too-common runny nose amongst children. Concerning the contamination problem, a local teacher suggested that each child with a runny nose be given a tissue so that they could blow their noses and curb the spread of germs. The Scott brothers decided to sell the school tissue rolls to counteract the problem. By 1931, paper towels were enjoying a prestigious place in the local economy. Tissues were no longer relegated for nose-blowing amongst children alone but soon became commonplace in kitchens and bathrooms across the country and then the world.
When you opt for Wipe-it and our quality laminated hand towels, you can enjoy the following advantages:
- Fantastic, wet-strength quality: When you opt for our laminated paper towels, quality is guaranteed. Wet-strength paper can retain its form, even when confronted with the biggest of spills. Thanks to its absorbency, water is soaked up fast, without the sheet turning to mush. This means that you need fewer towels to get the job done, and this equates to ultimate cost savings. The fewer sheets you need to complete a job, the longer your paper rolls last.
- Affordability: Great quality does not have to be synonymous with super expensive. Here at Wipe-it, we pride ourselves on great value products that are accessible for businesses big and small. When you buy in bulk, savings are assured.
- Diverse options: We stock a range of paper products here at Wipe-it, from 2-ply virgin loo rolls and serviettes to garage rolls and autcut reflex rolls. Whatever your paper-related needs, we are the team for the job.
- A hygienic solution: In the current climate, hygiene is the order of the day. This is another reason why our laminated towels are so popular. While hand-drying machines once enjoyed popularity, science says it all. They’ve been proven to spread germs at a rapid rate, and in these precarious times, that is simply not a risk worth taking.
