The Great Towel Fold Challenge

Ever tried to impress a guest with your towel folding skills? I attempted a swan once, and it ended up looking more like a bewildered chicken! At our last training, we had a little competition, and let me tell you, laughter was the best cleaning product we used that day. How do you keep the spirit up during serious training?

I love that idea of laughter being the best cleaning product! One thing that always keeps spirits high during serious training is a quick round of silly challenges like speed-folding towels — it’s amazing how much fun you can have with a little competition… What’s your go-to for keeping things light?

I totally get that! It’s like trying to sculpt a masterpiece with sponges instead of clay. Mixing in some fun games during training can really lighten the mood — maybe a towel toss contest next time?
