The Benefits of Towel Rental Programs: Cost Savings, Efficiency, and Safety
Managing towels in your business shouldn’t be a hassle or a hit to your budget. At Gallagher Uniform, we understand that maintaining a clean and efficient workplace is essential, whether you’re running an automotive shop, a restaurant, or a healthcare facility. That’s why our towel rental program offers a smarter solution, combining convenience, cost savings, and safety.
With more than 130 years of experience, we know how to take the worry out of towel management. Let’s explore why choosing a towel rental program is the better choice for your business.
Why Choose a Towel Rental Program Over Buying
When it comes to managing towels, renting offers undeniable advantages over buying and maintaining your own. Purchasing towels means dealing with high upfront costs, laundering, replacements, and the ongoing maintenance required to keep them clean and hygienic.
With a towel rental program from us, you skip the hassle altogether. We handle it all, so you can focus on running your business. Plus, our reliable service means you’ll always have fresh, clean towels on hand.
Cost Savings and Financial Benefits
One of the biggest advantages of towel rental is cost efficiency. Buying towels requires a significant upfront investment, and the ongoing costs of laundering, maintaining and replacing them add up quickly. By choosing a rental program, you eliminate these expenses.
Professional laundering facilities like ours significantly reduce energy use. According to the TRSA, reusable towels use just 10% of the energy required for nonwoven and paper towels throughout their lifecycle.
Moreover, reusable shop towels can be far more economical. For example, a task that requires 2 disposable wipes can be handled by a single shop towel, resulting in 15% cost savings. If a towel is reused for five tasks before laundering, it can reduce costs by up to 66%.
Safety and Compliance Advantages
Renting towels also helps you maintain a safer workplace. Towels that come into contact with oils, solvents, or harsh chemicals can pose a fire risk if not laundered properly. Improperly cleaned towels can spontaneously combust, putting your facility at risk.
We take safety seriously. Our professional laundering process ensures that every towel is cleaned thoroughly and safely, following strict safety regulations. You can trust that our towels are processed to remove contaminants, protecting your team and your facility.
Environmental and Sustainability Benefits
Choosing a towel rental program isn’t just good for your business—it’s good for the environment too. Disposable towels contribute to landfill waste and pollution, while reusable towels from Gallagher help minimize environmental impact.
Our towel rental services save energy and water compared to at-home or on-site laundering. Plus, using reusable towels means significantly reducing solid waste. According to the TRSA, reusable towels use:
- Single-use products generate 4.2 times as much packaging waste as reusable towels for similar tasks.
- For tasks that would typically require 3 disposable wipes, reusable towels can reduce solid waste by up to 3.9 times.
- Reusable towels also use significantly less energy throughout their lifecycle, requiring just 10% of the total energy needed for paper or nonwoven wipes.
By opting for towel rentals, you’re not only saving money but also taking a step toward more sustainable business practices.
