[quote=Anonymous]We're having a big holiday party next weekend. With kids, expect somewhere from 60-90 people.  Not catered, not formal, but we live in a really nice house and do it up really nicely -- DH and I both love to entertain.

Every year that we throw this party, i struggle with the best solution of hand drying towels in the bathroom. When i was a lot younger and we'd throw a party with 20 friends, I wouldn't even think about it -- and i remember being surprised and mildly guilty-feeling at the end of the night when I noticed that everyone just had to use the cloth hand towel that was already in our bathroom day to day, because by the end of the night it would be soaking wet and (if it was white) kind of yellowing. Gross.

Over the years, i've tried different solutions. The one that makes the most sense to me is disposable "cloth" towels like they have in nicer restaurants and i would put them in a non-disposable holder I got on amazon designed for this purpose. I used to be able to get those disposable clothes at Target or the grocery store, but they don't carry them anymore. But in any event, even when i put them out, people seemed confused by their purpose and they got less use than i expected.

Stores near me do carry a Kleenex branded version of "hand towels" - but you have to use them in the Kleenex box they come in; if you pull out the whole wad, they are an awkward size and don't fit anywhere else and won't stand up on their own. So then you have a Kleenex branded (ugly) box in your bathroom, that doesn't obviously say "Hand Towel" on it.  So when i've used that approach.... poor guests end up not knowing it's hand towels, and at the end of the night i find that like 2 of the kleenex towels have been used, and the full sized bath towel is sopping wet. So poor guests have been thinking they need to use the full sized bath towel.

Long story short: All the disposable solutions i've tried, at the end of the night it seems most people are still just using the same non-disposable hand towel. Which to me seems gross, but maybe it's fine?

If i have 100 people using my bathroom next weekend, what's the best way to give them a hygienic, user friendly, and obvious hand drying approach? [/quote]
