Whether you own a gym or manage a fitness center, offering towel service at your facility provides an extra level of service that sets you apart from the competition. Properly caring for these bulk towels can extend their longevity and offer optimal performance during gym sessions. ERC Wiping Products offers many durable gym towels with options for every budget. Here are some tips for caring for and maintaining your gym towels:

Remove Sweat and Odors

Bacteria may thrive in damp environments, like used towels that have been discarded and left unattended. It's ideal to collect and wash used towels as soon as gym visitors are done using them. This helps prevent bacteria and odor buildup. These are a couple of the ways to keep your gym towels sanitary:

Detergent Choice

Select a quality laundry detergent designed specifically for the towels' material type, such as cotton or polyester. Some detergents contain odor-fighting enzymes that can remove tough sweat stains and gym odors. Avoid adding fabric softener to the load, as it can leave residue on the towels that affects absorbency. 

Wash and Dry

Don't throw used towels in with other types of laundry. Separate them from other clothing, bedding, or cleaning cloths to prevent the transfer of bacteria and unpleasant smells. After washing the towels, follow the drying instructions on the tag or dry them on medium heat. Avoid drying with high heat, as this setting can damage the fabric and decrease the towels' lifespan. Select gym towels that are durable enough to withstand use in a fitness center and regular washing and drying cycles.

Caring for Gym Towels

Towel materials can range from soft and lightweight to more absorbent and heavyweight. Adding white vinegar to the rinse cycle every few washes helps remove detergent residue and mineral buildup from many material types, leaving towels fresh and absorbent. For stubborn stains, pre-treat them with spot stain remover before washing the towels. Towels wear out and lose their absorbency with time. If your gym towels become thin, rough, or no longer absorb moisture effectively, it's time for replacements.
