I know nobody is really stealing our towels intentionally but for some reason we’ve lost more towels in the last three months than we did in the first five years of being open. It’s really best for everyone if you bring your own towels with you. We offer towel rentals as a courtesy but our laundry capabilities are minimal and taking them to the laundromat is expensive and will result in our having to charge even more than the current $3, which some of you already think is too high. If the reduction continues we will institute an additional deposit, refundable only after the return of the rented towel.

I’m wondering if the problem is that our towels are so nice and the color (beige) so common that many of you have similar towels at home and so it’s easy to think it’s your own. For that reason, I’ve just bought some bright red and orange towels, hoping the unusual color will help remind you that it belongs to the studio.
