Custodial Services installs new roll towel dispensers on campus

In an effort to be more “green,” the custodial department has installed new roll towel dispensers in restrooms across campus in an effort to save money by reducing the amount of time spent restocking multi-fold towels (many dispensers will no longer have both types of towels).

This change eliminates the need to replace batteries yearly in the old units and allows for the purchase of a more natural brown towel that is made from 100 percent recycled material.

There are a couple things you need to keep in mind when using these new machines.

  • The name of these units is called “SofPull” by GP. And like the name states, you do not need to pull very hard to get the towels to come out. It is, however, important to grab each side of the towel between your fingers and pull down softly. If you do, you will receive one perfectly cut towel every time.
  • For the most part, these units are a touch-free system with some towel hanging from the unit at all times. If there is not, they are equipped with a dial on the right side that, when turned, will advance the next towel for you.
