Hand Towels

Disposable paper hand towels are an essential everyday product, used virtually everywhere for hygiene and sanitation purposes. As convenient as they are versatile, paper hand towels have an innumerable amount of practical uses.

Cromwell stocks an extensive range of hand towels that are available in different sizes, colours, lengths, and ply counts.

What are hand towels?

Hand towels come in an extremely convenient, tightly wrapped roll - a compact, space-saving design that provides accessibility when you need it most.

The perforated paper sheets are super-absorbent to effectively deal with any spills, or to hold in cleaning product for antibacterial wiping tasks.

The paper sheets are wrapped around a cardboard roll that can be placed into a handy dispenser - or used freely.

Why buy hand towels?

Everyone needs hand towels! They are an important tool to maintain high safety, hygiene, and aesthetic standards at home and in the workplace.

When a liquid is spilled, neglecting to clean it up swiftly can result in staff injury, damage, and possible lawsuits. Having paper towels on-hand to quickly clean up any mess is a far more effective way to prevent such problems.

Janitorial and cleaning professionals use paper towels to efficiently distribute disinfectant across surfaces, preventing unwanted bacteria and disease spreading. By having the right paper towels, you're directly contributing to workplace health, safety and staff wellbeing.

Paper towels can also be used to remove and prevent dust, debris, and stains from windows, floors, and other surfaces. This keeps homes and workplaces clean and tidy, which contributes to a far better living or working environment for you and your family or staff.

When are hand towels used?

Hand towels are invaluable for any janitorial, housekeeping, or sanitary cleaning task. They are commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.
Paper towels are an extremely versatile commodity and can perform a huge range of jobs across a wide number of industries. You're unlikely to find a home or workplace without them.

Whether you're wiping down surfaces, absorbing spills, cleaning oil or grease off your hands, disinfecting areas, or much, much more - the humble hand towel is an essential tool for any business.

Considerations when choosing hand towels

When buying disposable paper hand towels, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind to ensure you get the best products for your hygiene needs:

• Roll type - There are a few types of hand towels that each have different sheet and roll sizes. Ensure you're buying the correct type of roll to fit in your existing paper towel dispensers.

• Ply - The ply of paper towels references the number of paper layers it has, and therefore the overall thickness. We have a range of plys on offer that make our paper towels suitable for anyone.
High ply paper towels are generally softer and can absorb more liquid. This makes high-ply paper towels more efficient for dealing with spillage and cleaning. Low ply rolls are often cheaper and are equally efficient for dirt cleaning tasks, such as giving your hands a quick wipe down.

• Pack size - Unsurprisingly, hand towels are often bought in bulk to save on costs and packaging requirements.
Cromwell stocks a wide range of varied pack sizes to suit all requirements.
