    Not sure if you meant can or can’t but they’re meant to only be used one way, so alcohol or a bleach solution in the towel cylinders could keep it clean through it’s life.

      “Clean” does not remove the physical particles of dirt and shit.

      It might be sanitary, but Noone would trust it unless it self cleaned fully each use

        It’s not a loop, there’s a fresh towel roll and a dirty towel take up roll and it only rolls on one direction. You changed it when the clean roll ran out and washed the dirty roll.

          This! I have a couple brand new rolls from when a friends grandparents gestation closed.

          They are about the size of industrial paper towel rolls, but make shitty rags unfortunately.

        That’s the thing, you put the new roll at top and it collects in a spool on the bottom. Provided the new cylinder is sterile, you’re all good. The problem arise when it reaches the end of the spool and isn’t changed do people are using the same static towel, or people cheap out by trying to reuse the dirty ones
