I'm not that old, and have only seen a single, filthy example, but the older style of discontinued public washroom hand drying towels were disgusting in a really intense kind of way. It never got the opportunity to completely dry, and add to that situation that every single asshole who only rinsed his dickbeaters after shitting instead of washing them was griming it up instead of just drying their hands.
The towel is not a loop. When you pull down you get fresh towel off of a roll. The used towel goes onto a different roll and when the clean roll is used up they change it and wash the dirty one. They are geared together so the amount hanging down is pretty constant but sometimes they got out of sync and the “loop” was either huge or so tight you couldn’t really dry your hands.
And today you could build one that has like a micro washing machine / mangle / dryer combo integrated.
I really like the idea of that thing, but goddamn I can't conceive of a way to actually make it sanitary.
Edit - derp
Not sure if you meant can or can’t but they’re meant to only be used one way, so alcohol or a bleach solution in the towel cylinders could keep it clean through it’s life.
"Clean" does not remove the physical particles of dirt and shit.
It might be sanitary, but Noone would trust it unless it self cleaned fully each use
It’s not a loop, there’s a fresh towel roll and a dirty towel take up roll and it only rolls on one direction. You changed it when the clean roll ran out and washed the dirty roll.
This! I have a couple brand new rolls from when a friends grandparents gestation closed.
They are about the size of industrial paper towel rolls, but make shitty rags unfortunately.
That’s the thing, you put the new roll at top and it collects in a spool on the bottom. Provided the new cylinder is sterile, you’re all good. The problem arise when it reaches the end of the spool and isn’t changed do people are using the same static towel, or people cheap out by trying to reuse the dirty ones
There were also ones that were a loop.
My personal experience begs to differ.
