If You Care Reusable Paper Towel Roll (Set of 3)
Wipe, rinse, repeat. Can you imagine a kitchen without paper towels? Yeah, we can’t either. But we can imagine a kitchen without nearly as much paper towel waste, thanks to these reusable sheets made in a patented process from a three-dimensional blending of cellulose, non-GMO unbleached cotton and natural mineral salt. They’re super absorbent (as in, 16 times their weight in water) and don’t leave fibers behind on your countertops or floors (bye disposable sweeper pads!) even after several rinses. Each sheet lasts for a week and when you’re ready to move on to the next one, simply drop it in the compost.
