Specialty Mat rents and launders towels for businesses across Illinois and Northwest Indiana. We deliver clean towels on a set route, pick up the used ones and replace the ones that wear out. You pay for a service, not for a stockroom full of towels.

What Our Towel Service Includes

  • Delivery and pickup on a regular route. Most customers are on a weekly exchange. Higher-volume businesses can ask for more frequent service.
  • Laundering and inspection. Every towel is washed and checked before it goes back out.
  • Replacement of worn towels. Towels that are stained or worn out are swapped on your route.
  • No sorting or counting. Used towels go in the hamper or bin we provide. We count, launder and restock.
  • A program sized to your volume. You are not paying for towels you do not use.

Towels We Rent

  • Bar mops for spills, prep stations and glassware.
  • Shop towels for grease, oil and machine work.
  • Microfiber cloths, lint-free, for glass and stainless steel.
  • Fingertip towels for restrooms and front-of-house use.

You can combine towel types on the same route. Most customers do, so one delivery covers the kitchen, the shop floor and the restrooms.

Who Uses Towel Rental

  • Restaurants and bars: bar mops and kitchen towels that keep up with a busy service.
  • Auto shops and manufacturing: shop towels made for grease and solvents.
  • Gyms and fitness centers: a steady supply of fresh towels for members.
  • Salons, spas and healthcare offices: soft, clean towels on a predictable schedule.

Towel Rental or Buying Your Own?

Buying towels means paying for the inventory up front, washing them in house or hauling them to a laundry, and buying again when they wear out. With towel rental there is no inventory to buy, the laundering is done for you and the cost is the same every week. We go through the numbers in why mop and towel rental beats ownership.

How It Works

  1. Tell us about your business. What you do and roughly how many towels you go through in a week.
  2. We set up your program. Towel types, quantities and a hamper or bin for the used ones.
  3. We exchange on schedule. Clean towels in, used towels out.
  4. We adjust as you grow. If your volume changes, the program changes with it.
