Eco-friendly paper towels - 5 non-obvious uses
Paper towels are accessories that we will meet in virtually every home. We are especially happy about this - after all, they are products close to nature, and at the same time they remain very functional. Most often we use them to wipe off dust or clean up minor dirt. In fact, they have many more uses. What to use a paper towel for? Today we will talk about how eco-friendly paper towels can be used at home and beyond. We invite you to read on!
Paper towel - an indispensable product in every home
To say that a paper kitchen towel is necessary in every home is like saying nothing. This product is always worth having at hand - not only in the kitchen, but also in the bathroom or office. Lightweight, streak-free, well absorbing water and fine dirt, the towel allows you to keep the whole house tidy without putting a lot of effort. The purchase of this product is supported not only by its qualities, but also by its low price, as well as its general availability.
Ecological paper towels - nature- and health-friendly products
Paper kitchen towels are products close to nature. Their natural origin means that they do not contribute to environmental pollution - once used and discarded, they easily decompose after emptying the garbage pail. What are paper towels made of? The simplest way to say it is...from paper, that is, cellulose fibers. This, of course, is not a lie, but we will not talk about the "obvious". There are various paper towels on the market - some are made of, among other things, pulp fibers, which are enriched with synthetic fibers.
There are also even more ecologically friendly paper towels on sale - as an example, there are such products in our range as towels made from bamboo, a plant that grows back every year, and is therefore a fully and extremely renewable source. In addition to ecology, bamboo, of course, has many other beneficial properties for our body, such as antibacterial properties. Bamboo products are also non-allergenic. SlowPack's bio towels are made entirely from plants, making them 100% biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Eco-friendly paper towels are also health-friendly - because they are disposable, there is no risk of bacteria buildup in the home, as is the case with, for example, cloth towels. This is an extremely hygienic solution - a paper towel goes immediately into the garbage after use.
Eco-friendly paper towel - application at home. Wider than you think!
Speaking of paper towel, the first thing that comes to mind: cleaning dust or quickly drying hands. With this, of course, we are not going to argue, because we ourselves often use these products for such simple tasks. Today, however, we want to show that paper towels can be used in many other ways, which you will read about below.
- Kitchen paper towel as a coffee filter
Forgot to buy filters for your coffee maker? No problem! Make use of a paper towel. One leaf is enough to absorb the moisture stored inside the machine. A simple but effective solution!
- Paper towel as a pad for watering soil in pots
Watering flowers and other plants can be a bit of a hassle especially when it is very hot outside the window. By the action of high temperatures, the watered soil dries out quickly, which entails the need to add water more often. If you want the soil in the pots to stay moist longer, put several layers of paper towel on the very bottom. Thanks to its properties , it absorbs water, which will stay in its structure for a longer time.
- Eco-friendly paper towels - for faster cooling of drinks
Are you preparing a party in the garden? Or maybe you feel like drinking something cold, but you have not prepared a drink beforehand? No problem! Soak a paper towel with water, wrap it around the bottle and put it in the freezer for a few minutes - and you're done! After a while your water, juice or alcohol should be pleasantly cool.
- A paper towel can also serve as an air freshener
A paper towel as an air freshener? How? Simpler than it may seem! If you have fragrance oil at home , then mix it with a small amount of water and spray the leaves with it. The effect will certainly surprise you, and the room will have a pleasant smell that will float in the air for a long time.
- Remove fat from the broth with an eco paper towel
Don't like it when the broth is too greasy? You've probably tried more than once to remove the fat with a spoon and know that this is not a very effective way out. How to deal with it? Use a paper towel! Put a layer of the towel on the colander, put it in the pot and pour the soup over it. All the fat should collect on the towel.
