HI,
Another good way, is to sprinkle some towels with water and put them in a Crockpot (slo-cooker) at the low heat and that will keep them warm all day. This is great for when you want a warm moist towel to remove the crystal activator during a Spamanicure as the towel at the bottom of the crockpot usually stays quite moist......
and you can get one with a glass lid quite cheap (£15) at Asda!!!

I agree with the crock pot method also. I have doing this for a while and it is the cheapest way and I have never had any complaints from anyone.
Whenever I would go on moblie calls into a home, I would just wet a few towels and put them in a small plastic bag ( parafin bags) and then stick them in the microwave for about 1 minute.

I've just got a hot towel cabinet, and as Roofie would say, it's the mutts nuts. Best thing I've bought in a long time, I use it for anything I can - especially facials, magice for getting cleanser, exfoliant and masks off. My clients are Lurving it!

this might sound daft but how many towels can you fit in a slow cooker, i know they are only hand towels /flannal size etc, but have no idea on average how many u can get away with putting in :green:
also how long does it have to be on before it gets warm ? ???
thanks guys xx

i use the manicure towels that are slightly smaller than regular hand towels and i can get about 4 or 5 in and my towelling hand mitts as well ... it heats up fairly quickly as well i moisten the towels in hot scented water then roll them up and then put them in standing up instead of on top of each other so that they are easy to remove and easy to replace with fresh so that i have a constant supply then i leave it on a low setting... every now and then i check that they aren`t drying out and spray with water if they are..hope this helps..

I sprinkle with water, and spray them with an aroma spray then put on the microwave for a few seconds, i also do this for hot towel facials.
