If you or your employees struggle to manage the towel supply for your business, consider hiring a towel service to fulfill your needs. Professional towel management saves you time, stress, and money. 

Towel management is a bigger task than it sounds. Not only do you have to keep a supply of clean towels stocked and neat, but you have to track them, make sure they’re not damaged or stained, and buy new ones when they get stolen or run-down.

A Towel Service Saves Time

Have you calculated how much time is spent on your business’s towels? There’s the searching, vetting, and pricing to purchase the towels, time spent folding, organizing, and storing, and of course the time spent laundering them. 

A towel service will not only do all of those things for you, but will do so efficiently, correctly, and on time, every time. When you work with Specialty Mat, you’ll never have to wonder if the rack will be empty again, because it’s our full-time job to make sure it’s not. Once we come in, towels will just be there. This leaves time to focus on other business needs!  

A Towel Service Lessens Stress 

Trying to find a missing towel is an impossible task. Because there’s so much utility for towels in day-to-day operations, they’re commonly stolen. Even if they’re not intentionally stolen, they’re an easy thing to casually keep or accidentally misplace. 

If you’re in charge of it, it’s a frustrating reality of towel management. Your options to cope are (1) waste emotional energy on those frustrations, (2) accept it as part of the job and trudge along, (3) become the Towel Avenger, (4) or hire a professional towel service to tackle these problems for you. 

A Towel Service Saves Money

While it may sound more economical to own and launder your business’s towels yourself, there are many unforeseen fees to that decision. 

First, the initial down payment can easily reach into the thousands depending on the size of your business and quality of towels you’d like to have. Second, once you have the towels, you have to find a place to neatly store them when clean and when they’re used, and the office space being used by it can’t be used by anything else. Third, laundering fees are nothing to smile at, and that’s assuming you’re not doing it yourself. 

When a towel goes missing or becomes too damaged or stained to use anymore, you’re stuck finding another just like it and paying full price and shipping. That’s your time and money gone.

Types of Commercial Towels We Rent

Not every towel service is built the same. Specialty Mat stocks a full range of commercial-grade towels so you never have to mix and match suppliers: absorbent bar mops for spills and glassware, heavy-duty shop towels for grease and machine shops, lint-free microfiber cloths for glass and stainless steel, and soft fingertip towels for restrooms and front-of-house use. Every towel is laundered, inspected, and replaced on your scheduled route—no counting, folding, or guessing how many you have left.

Frequently Asked Questions About Towel Service

How often are towels picked up and delivered? Most Specialty Mat customers are on a weekly exchange, though higher-volume businesses like restaurants and gyms can request more frequent service.

Do I need to sort or count towels before pickup? No. Just place used towels in the provided hamper or bin—we count, launder, and restock automatically.

Can I mix towel types in one service? Yes. Most customers combine bar mops, shop towels, and fingertip towels in a single weekly route to cover every area of the business.
