The above indicates that Kimberly Clark’s 1000 or 1005 white roll towels using a controlled towel dispenser is the lowest cost towel alternative. There are other factors to consider in selecting an appropriate towel system
- Bathroom decor and fit with dispenser options and styles
- Personal choice for folded towel style over roll towels
- The desire to keep options open and select any manufacturers towels
The lowest cost folded towel options is singlefolds followed closely by Scottfold and Multifold towels. Centerpull towels along with household towels ie Bounty are and have been the most expensive hand drying alternatives.
