10 WAYS TO DISPOSE OF SCRUMMI
To get the most out of the eco-benefits of Scrummi, here are some ways to dispose of your used towels that has been curated from salons and stylists.
1 Re-Use to Clean
Most Scrummi towels are just wet, so reuse them to clean the basin, clean your station, clean...anything. Preferably alongside Salon Chair Guys zero-tox cleaners.
2 Save for Housekeeping
Salons also stockpile Scrummi in a separate bin for their housekeeping staff so they can use Scrummi. Place a laundry basket aside to collect them for the weekly clean.
3 Take-Home for the Team
Find ways to use Scrummi outside of the salon. Some stylists use it for their pets, for their projects, or for their partners job sites. This is a perfect, tangible offering for salons that also include a green fee in order to fund and provide sustainable opportunities to their guests.
4 Color Client Benefits
Clients love that the towel used on them, has never been used on someone else. Continue the personalization! Once dried, Scrummi can be used again and save home bath sheets from fresh color!
5 Local Agriculture
When Scrummi is ready to meet their maker, composting is the preferred method. Many salons find local nurseries or farmers that they can donate their wet-only towels to.
