Kitchen towels are practical and convenient kitchen tools. Many people cannot imagine their daily routines without them. They are great for removing stains from countertops and drying fried foods. They can also absorb moisture in the refrigerator, especially where fruits and vegetables are stored.
You can wrap them in a towel, allowing them to stay fresh longer and prevent moulding.
Paper towels also have applications in the bathroom. They are not only for cleaning. Women who care about their appearance will appreciate their properties. They can be used for makeup removal when cotton pads are not available. They're a healthier alternative to fabric towels, which can be full of bacteria.
Here's how you should use a kitchen towel
A paper towel seems simple to use, but the problem often lies in tearing it properly. This issue arises, especially when our hands are wet or dirty. Fortunately, a TikTok from the "Pure Wow" profile demonstrated an easy trick for using the towel efficiently. Importantly, it is easy to apply.
All you need is the right towel holder. It's about an inexpensive model most of us have – a metal one with a protruding part. Its function is specific. This part acts as a dispenser, allowing you to tear sheets even with one hand. The TikToker showed that you only need to pull the sheets while placing the towel properly. "Ah, everything has its purpose," she wrote in the video description.
Kitchen towels have a range of uses. However, they are not eco-friendly
Use kitchen towels in moderation. Why? Experts point out that they are not eco-friendly. Their disposal is difficult because they are used to wipe grease and dirt. Using towels wisely is also significant for another reason. We often use more than necessary, and their production consumes much energy. It's better to use fewer sheets, applying each for a specific purpose.
Interestingly, a towel can successfully serve as a coffee filter. A sheet of paper is enough to absorb moisture and prepare the drink easily. The towel also serves as a functional substitute for mulch – you can place seeds on a heavily moistened sheet, which should germinate soon. Just make sure the paper is adequately moistened.
A towel can successfully be replaced with a reusable cloth. These effectively absorb dirt and clean surfaces well. Rinsing them is often enough to regain full functionality in cleaning surfaces.
