Save Time and Money
CLEAN TOOLS pitches its Absorber Pro Dry as a way to spend less time and use fewer towels per grooming client. The product’s sponge-like composition pulls 50 percent more water from a dog’s coat than cotton or microfiber, and can be wrung out and reused before needing to be washed. Also, pet hair won’t stick to the non-woven material.
