Are Scrummi better than other disposable towels?

What is Scrummi?

Scrummi is a premium quality, eco-friendly, single use salon towel. It’s cost effective, disposable, hygienic and looks good too!

What is Scrummi made of?

Our towels are made from 100% soft and natural biodegradable fibres. They’re soft, absorbent, strong and stylish.

What can I use Scrummi for?

Everything your old cotton towel did, and much more.

Scrummi products serve all your salon needs – from hair drying to beauty treatments such as pedicures, spray tans and facials.

Yes! Thanks to their waffle texture and all the extra fibres we use, Scrummi towels are up to 40% thicker, which makes them them softer, more absorbent and just downright better than any other towels out there.

Who uses Scrummi?

So far more than 1000 salons have joined the Scrummi revolution. Scrummi are used and approved by Toni & Guy, Paul Mitchell, Unisex, Aveda Salons and many many more.

Isn’t it about time you joined them?

It’s common sense. Using Scrummi will cut your energy bills, save on staff time, eliminate germs and reduce your carbon footprint.

liams Living

Everyone loves a clean, soft cotton towel, but how many clients actually see one? Cotton towels don’t look new for long – after just a few washes the colour fades and the towel loses its fluffiness. And that’s just what you can see: beneath the stained and scratchy surface of your cotton towels, germs are lurking. Even after washing at 90 degrees (which is very bad for the planet!) funghal and bacterial pathogens lurk beneath the surface, meaning that no client ever really gets a clean towel. Unless you’re using Scrummi…

Scrummi towels are: • soft • 100% clean, germ free • single use – no shared germs • fresh • 5 x more absorbent than traditional towels

So what would you do with £3000 per year?

We all have so much to do, but there never seem to be enough hours in the day. So, imagine if you could save more than 600 STAFF HOURS per year. Well, that’s what Scrummi can do for you. Scrummi towels are pre-folded and stacked, so they come completely ready for use. They will even dry your clients’ hair faster than traditional cotton towels! And, when they’ve done their job, you just pop them into the recycling bin. Scrummi means no more: • Towel washing • Towel drying • Towel folding • Towel stacking
