Kitchen towels are a practical and convenient tool. Many people cannot imagine daily life without them. They are excellent for removing stains from countertops and drying fried foods. They can also be used to absorb moisture in the fridge, especially where we store fruits and vegetables.
Simply wrapping them in a towel will help them stay fresh longer and prevent moulding.
A paper towel is also useful in the bathroom. It's not just for cleaning. Women who are mindful of their appearance will appreciate its other uses. It can be an alternative for removing makeup when you don't have cotton pads. It's a healthier option than fabric towels, which can harbour bacteria.
Here's how you should use a kitchen towel
While a paper towel seems simple, the problem often arises when tearing it properly, particularly when hands are wet or dirty. Fortunately, a TikToker from the "Pure wow" profile demonstrated an easy trick to use the towel efficiently, which is simple to apply.
All you need is the right towel holder. It's an inexpensive model many of us have - a metal one with a protruding part. This part acts as a dispenser, allowing you to tear sheets even with one hand. The TikToker showed that all you need to do is properly pull the sheets while placing the towel. "Ah, everything has a purpose," she wrote in the video description.
Kitchen towels have a range of uses. However, they are not eco-friendly
Use kitchen towels sparingly. Why? Experts point out that they are not eco-friendly. Their disposal is challenging since they are used to wipe grease and dirt. Using towels wisely is also crucial for another reason. We often waste more than necessary, and their production consumes much energy. It's better to use fewer sheets for specific purposes.
Interestingly, a towel can effectively substitute as a coffee filter. A single sheet can absorb moisture, making it easy to prepare the drink. The towel can also replace mulch – place seeds on a heavily moistened sheet, and they should germinate soon. Just ensure the paper is adequately moistened.
A towel can successfully be replaced with reusable cloths. These effectively absorb dirt and clean surfaces well. Often, rinsing them is enough to make them fully functional for cleaning purposes again.
