A disposable towel is a single-use alternative to a reusable cloth towel.[1] Disposable materials were originally designed for healthcare delivery and have been introduced to industries outside of healthcare systems, such as resorts, hotels, hospitality, exercise facilities and households.[1][2]
Disposable towels are used to enhance infection control, convenience and decrease economic expenditure.[3][4][2] Disposable towels are used in fields requiring sanitary conditions for minor, precise, or dirty jobs of cleaning and drying.[2][5]
