Do you use paper napkins, paper towels or both in your home? Or maybe you use cloth napkins?

[Ruthanne]

I use nice dish towels for wiping my face while eating. When company is over we use plain or printed paper towel that I fold nicely and put under the silverware. I rarely have company but the pt suffices.

Isn't this picture awful? Environmentally, I mean. OK, awful in general I mean. I thought colored toilet paper is a bad thing. Anyway, I use plain white Scott only toilet paper; any brand white paper napkins; and plain white Bounty only.

I've actually got those.. *hangs head *.. I use them occasionally to brighten up the bathrooms ... and I mean once in a blue moon.. altho' I've been very much more aware of the environmental affect lately, so I haven't used any for a couple of years..... I have had most of those colours in the past.. and I still have 2 unopened packs of Black and cerise

I just use plain napkins and handtowels, however, when I have someone over for dinner I use cloth napkins.

Where on earth did you find them? I've never seen them in stores.

well I found them originally in Spain, they're routinely sold in the Biggest supermarkets there Carrefour ... but I couldn't find them here in the UK, so I eventually found them on Amazon

Do you ever get the dust cloths mixed up with the napkins?

lol! They're in separate drawers.

There's an Andy Griffith episode where the Darlings come to visit and they're all playing bluegrass music together. Someone suggests they play, "Cuttin' Up My Old Clothes for Rags," but they can't because Charlene says, "That one always makes me cry."

I think of that when ever I'm cutting up our old T-shirts for Swiffers.

(We use white paper napkins, Crispy, and I'm offended you would ask!)

They've been outlawed for years! Only very lightly patterned PT's are allowed and even those are going away. I remember my mother buying pale pink TP, but haven't even seen that since childhood.

LOL, my adopted Italian family called those "moppines".

Yes, and towels as well, white hand towels.

 

[Jackie23]

.........plain white paper towel gal here and I find "red" napkins offensive. Really we should all get together and report hollydolly.

@Chris P Bacon This has been a really interesting thread.

Me too!

 

[RFW]

Whatever is the cheapest at the store. A handheld bidet for the butt and I wipe it dry with a wash cloth. No more stains.

 

[PamfromTx]

Plain paper napkins for me. I use paper towels for spills, etc. Hubby has to use cloth napkins; I don't so as to lessen the laundry load.

 

[Lewkat]

Cloth napkins. Paper towels in the kitchen for drying hands and quick wipe ups.

 

[MMinSoCal]

@hollydolly Carrefour, for sure! Also, Mercadona, El Corte Ingles and Hipercor!

I like it too, it drew a lot more responses than I had any idea that it would. Thank YOU for sharing yours!

 

[dobielvr]

My paper napkins are in a package w/3 diff colors..blue white green.

Paper towels are currently white, but if I have a choice, I'll get them patterned. I use them around the sink and counter area.

I'm a fanatic about using paper towels...pure white...only Bounty

I prefer grabbing something clean each time to dry my hands rather than kitchen towels or hand towels.

And I never lay food directly on kitchen counters but rather on paper towels or cutting boards fresh out of the dishwasher.

Don't get me wrong. I'm very conscientious about not cutting trees down in the rainforest so I'm also a fanatic about buying the perforated paper towels and then tearing off only what I need at a time after I've ripped off the perforated section I laugh but it's the truth.

I put out white paper napkins when entertaining.

Now you know you're not just another pretty face....lol

 

[Ruthanne]

I forgot to add that I use Bounty whenever possible, it really is thicker and stronger than the other brands--I wonder if Bounty will pay me for saying that? LOL I use it to clean the birds house, as a napkin for company, around the kitchen for whatever.

 

[Don M.]

We use plain paper napkins, plain paper towels, and plain paper plates for peelings, etc....usually purchased at Dollar General. After all, they just wind up in the trash, after use.
