disposables but then you have to take away the regular ones

Putting disposable handtowels means that there is a danger of someone trying to flush it down.

And then everyone can share their germs. Great idea, pp!

I use the Kleenex hand towels in our powder room for guests. Recently, I started putting a set of cloth hand towels out as well for those who have environmental concerns. Most of our guests seem to go for the paper towels. I have a very nice cover I found on Amazon that covers the ugly Kleenex box.

I feel like it’s a mix when we go to others homes. My sister offers both. A few friends and relatives only offer cloth. In that case, it’s nice when there are multiple towels put out and someone changes them out at some point. When I go to my SILs, she puts out one single cloth towel. There will be 20 family members and one soaked towel. It’s really gross and sometimes visibly dirty. I have attempted to rewash my hands in the kitchen before eating and lo and behold she doesn’t have paper towels there either. It bothers me to the point I don’t want to eat dinner there.

The disposable “hand towel” napkins inevitably overflow the trash basket (and some moron will flush one).

Dial? Blech.

Doctors use dial in their offices…because it kills germs.

If you are hosting a bunch of people at your house, you want to use dial and disposable towels/paper towels…unless you want everyone to get sick right before the holidays.

My pediatrician was the one who told me to ditch hand towels and put paper towels by every sink in my house, and that was 25 years ago (long before covid).

I have seen people put a basket with a bunch of clean new washcloths on the counter and a cute sort of mini hamper under the sink for used ones. I guess if all 100 of your guests are using the bathroom that spill be quite lot of replacing the fresh towel basket/unloading the mini hamper of used ones.

You put out a stack of cloth towels and a hamper to throw them in.

That's crazy itself. OP would need at least 50 cloth towels. The bathroom will look like an industrial laundry.

Couldn't the maid just wash them the next day?

I would laugh so hard if I saw these in someone’s bathroom. Bougie AF.

I don't care if you laugh as long as you wash and dry your hands and don't have to use a damp hand towel.

I just don’t wash my hands.

Of course you don't.

Gross.

An extra large roll of Bounty paper towels.

Get a tray and a stack of individual disposable towels. The ones a PP links to with initials is good. Or the kind that have a pattern on them.

The problem with the stack of towels is people will touch them with wet hands and get more than one wet. Dispenser is the way to go.
