Cloth Dairy Towels Save Money, Work Better

Cloth Dairy Towels Save Money, Work Better DAIRY EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Dairy Equipment & Ideas 22-6-10 "Our Sani-Sure cloth dairy towels clean and dry the udder better than paper. They also cost less to use," says Janet Dahl, product manager, Northwest Environmental Systems, Inc. Before coming out with its cloth towels, Northwest did extensive research into pre-milking udder prep to come up with the best towel in terms of size, weight, economy and maintenance. They now sell standard, heavy-weight and recycled dairy towels in bulk lots. "Up to now, dairy farmers who wanted cloth towels had to resort to making their own from rags or cutting down larger, more ex-pensive industrial towels," notes Dahl. "Be-cause cloth towels are washed and re-used, they reduce dairy towel expense 60 to 70 percent compared to the cost of paper towels, even when factoring in the cost of deter-gent and running a washer and dryer. "Cloth towels are also friendly to the environment. They eliminate the inevitable pile of hundreds of wet, dirty paper towels waiting for garbage pickup and they don't create landfill waste." Sani-Sure dairy towels are made of top quality turkish towel material. They are washcloth size with machined hems. Made in the U.S., standard and recycled towels are sold in approximately 900 (50 lbs.), 450 (25 lbs.), and 180 (10 lbs.) lots. Heavyweights are sold in 600 (50-lbs.) lots.
