Constantly paying for TP is a suckers game, that's why I installed one of these next to my toilet
My partner bought washable wipes. We have washable "paper towels" that are cloth. We also have washable "kleenex" which are just little cloth pads that you can use for whatever else, like blowing your nose or whatever.
A handkerchief?
not exactly.. it came in a pack of 100.. they're much softer and smaller than a handkerchief but they can function as one i suppose
Loooong ago they had these on Washington State Ferries, weirdly enough.
These things always grossed me out, ain't no way that machine properly disinfects the towel.
It’s a roll that unwinds, it doesn’t loop back around lol.
Still kind of gross and I wouldn’t want to use one but at least it’s not as bad now!
Huh I thought the thing dries it and (somehow) disinfects it. Doesn't the roll get spent pretty quickly otherwise? It's usually fairly thick.
It contains the used towel in a cylinder that gets taken and washed by a cleaning service. Maintenance staff will have extras to swap in just like a paper towel roll
The ones at my workplace get washed by a washing machine on a daily basis, I never even considered that the device cleans the cloth itself since that would indeed be impossible to do sufficiently in such a compact device.
Yea whenever I saw one of those I just used my pants instead, especially since.i only ever saw them in the dirtiest truck stop bathrooms
