How Do Unpaper Towels Work?
Have you ever wanted to try using unpaper towels, but you weren’t sure how they worked or if they were worth it? Why make the switch? After all, we’ve been using disposable paper towels for decades. You’re not the first to ask that, and you certainly won’t be the last.
What Are Unpaper Towels?
Unpaper towels are the cloth equivalent of paper towels. At first glance, an unpaper towel might look like a dish towel, but it won’t be as thick. It will be thin like a regular paper towel and has the same purpose – to wipe up spills and messes as they happen.
The difference is that unpaper towels don’t get thrown out after use. Instead, they’re re-used until they wear out. If your unpaper towels are made of high-quality fabric, they’ll last for years.
What is the trick to making them last a long time? Buy or make high-quality unpaper towels that won't rip or wear out after a few uses.
Why Unpaper Towels?
The primary reason people use unpaper towels is to reduce their carbon footprint. Disposable paper towels aren’t as disposable as you might think.
After you toss them in the trash, they take a journey that ends with them in landfills, where they waste away. They’re not easily biodegradable, so they sit there for hundreds of years, contributing to the hazard that landfills create.
Landfills in and of themselves aren’t problematic. In fact, they’re essential for proper waste disposal. But when they get too full, they emit toxins, greenhouse gases, and leachate into the atmosphere – all of which are bad in large amounts. Not only do they negatively affect the environment, but they can also make us sick.
Using unpaper towels can help decrease the amount of waste in our landfills, restoring them to sustainable levels. Replacing your disposal paper towels with unpaper towels is a small step we can all take for Mother Nature. They’re also cheaper, easily washable, and stylish if you match them to your kitchen theme.
How to Use Unpaper Towels
First, you’ll want to decide whether to use spray cleaner with your unpaper towel. There’s no reason why you can’t; it’s a matter of how bad your spill is.
It might be minor enough to just wipe away without a cleaner. But if you do need to use cleaner, we recommend picking an eco-friendly one to further reduce your carbon footprint and keep harmful chemicals out of your fabric and your kitchen. Switching to eco-friendly products isn’t just about reducing your carbon footprint. Eco-friendly options are often healthier for you, too.
Second, you’ll want to use the unpaper towel the same way as a regular paper towel. Just because it’s cloth doesn’t mean you need to use it differently. That might mean folding it in half or wadding it up to scrub at a stubborn spot. If you only use the edge of it, it will be easy to clean!
Third, you’ll want to clean the unpaper towel. This could be as simple as rinsing it off. But if your unpaper towel is full and rinsing or washing it out in the sink doesn’t clean it, you’ll want to put it in the laundry.
A wash cycle will prep it for reuse. Read the fabric care instructions to find out if it’s safe to dry the unpaper towel. If not, air-drying it is simple enough.
Your unpaper towel will then be ready for re-use. Whether you store it on a roll the way you would disposable paper towels or keep them folded in a drawer like you would washcloths, your unpaper towels are ready to go again.
As you can see, unpaper towels are easy to use and reuse. Keep a stack on hand, and you’ll always be good to go.
