Many of my friends have completely ditched paper towels, but I still keep a roll of brown recycled ones for really nasty clean up jobs I don’t want to use my kitchen towels on. In fact, when my friend’s father visited, he was pleased to see I was a paper towel user, as this was an issue between his daughter and him, and sent me a roll of super absorbent ones (he didn’t like my brown paper towels).
Well, I have finally found a solution to paper towels: reusable paper towels! They aren’t really made of paper, but they are cloth towels that can be used like a paper towel for those dirty jobs. They aren’t quite as absorbent, but who cares when you are doing something that is better for the environment! They also come with a neat little bag you can hang from your cabinets to make them easy to dispense. The towels are made of “super absorbent birdseye diaper fabric”, which got me thinking, why aren’t I just using all those old cloth diapers I have from two children?
