They are used in exactly the same way as a cotton towel... but EcoTowels will absorb more than seven-times its weight in water (you can wring them dry and they will absorb even more moisture) and it doesn’t matter if it gets covered in hair dye or body oils!
To see how you use them, check out our online training videos or download our free Step-by-Step poster here.
Eco Towels are made from 100% natural products.
Using a mix of wood pulp and plant fibers, the natural ingredients go through a bonding process called hydroentanglement which creates the nonwoven material we use in EcoTowels.
There are no plastics, toxins or chemicals in our towels.
EcoTowels are just as soft as traditional cotton towels – in fact they can be even softer than traditional towels as they are all fresh out of a packet so are even more velvety and soft thansome of the tired salon towels that might need replacing!

Yes absolutely! We offer custom-made sizes of towels or bed sheets to suit your business and client needs.

For the past 10 years, husband and wife team Matthew and George Smith from EcoTowels have been helping salon and spa owners transition their staff and clients from using traditional cotton salon towels to disposable, sustainable towels.
As salon owners themselves, they understand the pressures and concerns that come with running a hairdressing business, so check out their videos which answers the questions and concerns that salon owners, staff and clients might be feeling about changing to disposable, hygienic towels.
Matthew is also available for FREE online consultations with Salon Owners if you want to get in touch.
EcoTowels are fully biodegradable and upcyclable, however we do advise you check with your local authority waste recycling depot as most Councils don’t allow you to put them in the cardboard bins.
We always recommend reusing EcoTowels for other things... In our salons many clients like to take theirs home for household cleaning (ideal for cleaning cars) and local businesses who use them mainly for cleaning up dirty jobs.
Yes, you can and they will biodegrade in properly maintained landfill which has the right environmental conditions.
One of the many benefits of EcoTowels is that they can be stored anywhere and everywhere that is dry. They are extremely economical on space using less than half the space of conventional towels.
Yes, we can arrange online training with Matthew and George and we also come and visit your salon and share training with your staff.

Absolutely! An EcoTowel works just as a traditional cotton towel – they may not be as thick as a cotton towel, but they are a complete drying system.
Covid Planning
EcoTowels products can form an easy and cost-effective part of a Covid strategy for your salon. Thanks to our towels and capes being disposable, every client can receive a fresh and new towel with each appointment and avoid any cross-contamination as they are thrown straight in the bin at the end of each session.
Our Germ-Busting Salon Cleaning wipes are also ideal for deep cleaning between clients.
Because EcoTowels are one-use only towels and disposable, you can ensure there is no cross-contamination between salon appointments as every client is receiving a new, fresh towel that is coming straight out of the packet.
Unlike cotton towels, EcoTowels do not need to be boil washed after each appointment, they are simply disposed of into bins for recycling or composting.
