I use Bounty paper towels. I cannot stand a dirty rag. All I see is germs on the rag. I need to throw the paper towel away immediately. 


 @Janey2  That's exactly how I feel.I use a lot of them. I buy Bounty select a size paper towels in bulk, from Costco.

Bounty Select a Size are an essential staple in my house.

 

I completely agree they are far too expensive (the huge 10 roll packs I like are almost $30). But I forgo other things to buy paper towels as I don't want or care to wash dirty rags for cleaning and spills. 

 

Everyone should do what is best for and works for them but paper towels, dog and bird food are always the top three items on my list! Smiley Happy

Another one that is Bounty select-a-size dependent but many of my uses are not traditional.

 

For example:

 

I keep kaiser rolls in my refrigerator and have learned that if I wrap each in a paper towel they don't accumulate moisture.

 

I wrap my fresh produce in paper towels before putting it in green bags and it stays fresh for a long time.  With carrots I put a paper towel in the bag with them to absorb moisture.

 

When I unwrap the rolls, produce and other things I wrap in paper towels I let them dry then use them in place of dish cloths.

Also, Bounty is so thick & strong, you can rinse & use again to continue wipping up w/o throwing each piece in the trash to finish the job.

I get my TT and paper towels from Amazon.  Much cheaper than buying from a brick and morter store.  TT 2 ply - $24.99  Paper towels 12 double rolls $21.84angel.JPGpaper.JPG

I use a combination of paper towels and microfiber cloths.  Used to be just Bounty Select a Size in our house till the Covid shortage.  I bought microfiber at that point and used those almost exclusively till Bounty was available again. 

 

Now the microfiber is used for many "cleaner messes"  in our kitchen, but I also couldn't do without Bounty.  When I clean fruit or vegetables to get the chemicals off, I don't want that going into my washer/dryer.  Nor do I want an oily cloth being washed, because that's supposed to be a fire hazard.  If something has to be wiped up from the floor, that's a Bounty job too. I guess I'm trying to do my part by using  fewer paper towels than before.

It was always Bounty paper towels for me until I purchased my first package of Costco's Kirkland brand paper towels....never went back!  To me these are the best paper towels.

I concur with the other Bounty fans.  Won't be without it!
