A new product caught my eye; one that fits entirely with my idea of how one aspect of gym hygiene should be handled, so I am pleased to be able to describe it here, even though I have not personally used it. You will need to check it out personally to see if it suits your needs. However, the product does have an impressive list of users and testimonials on the web site, including universities and fitness centers.
