Paper Towel Holder (believe it or not lol)

[Pompal 09.]

In my efforts to streamline and beautify our place of business, I was searching for a decorative, functional, wall mounted paper towel holder to put up in our chair massage area (and probably also put one in each treatment room, as well). We use the Viva select a size paper towels for chair massage, and those can be... well, a bit stubborn coming off the roll. But they're soooo soft and comfy, lol!

I certainly don't want to use those horrible plastic things that the roll falls out if you look at it wrong. I want something *functional*. And I want something *pretty*.

So I was Googling away, and I found this:

http://www.stacksandstacks.com/healthy-shelf-towel-and-wipe-dispenser-23-inches-long/

I absolutely LOVE the idea of an enclosed paper towel holder! How *sanitary*! The wipes coming out the end would be a plus, too.

Then I noticed that this holder is for M-fold single towels, not a *roll* of paper towels. Bummer! I don't want to use M-fold towels in my *bathrooms*, much less on people's faces!

Does anyone know of anyplace to get one like this, that holds a *roll* of paper towels? I'm thinking, the shelf lifts off, ya got a bar that sets on little cradles to hold the roll, and the towels "drape" down and out the space at the bottom.

Am I pipe dreaming? Would that not be a fantastic tool for in-office chair massage? (We'd obviously not drag it around for gigs, lol. But we've been getting quite a bit of walk-in chair business, so I feel that spending a little money to streamline/sanitize the process would be worth it!)

You are using paper towels in an office setting for chair massage?

Why not use a regular face cradle cover? Or, better yet, use a fleece face cradle cover. They cost pennies and last a long time. They are easy to make yourself, just cut them from a piece of fleece material. My clients love them, as they do not leave seam marks on their faces.

 

[aaahyeaaa]

I found the manufacturer's website, and no they don't have one for the paper towel rolls.

Fantastic idea tho.

We are at the moment, yes. We hadn't actually thought of using the face cradle covers. We'd have to invest in some more (I am not able to sew any myself right now), but you're right- they'd be much nicer, not add that much to the laundry, and reusable- they'd pay for themselves in no time. And we'll always have the paper towels on hand in case we run out. I think there's our answer! Thanks.

Yeah, I'd still love to have one of those for my house! Oh well.

If you go to a fabric store, looking for remnents of fleece, you'll want in variables of 1/3, IMO, just chop out one foot squares, and cut a slit in the middle to the middle. they last forever, wash well, dry fast and do not need hemmed, they don't pill or fuzz or unravel. Al Gore invented fleece, you know. It is awesome stuff, if you are not against using acrylic stuff.

That's an idea too. Although my experience of fleece is hot. I used to use it for diaper liners for my babies' diapers.
