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.
