Has anyone tried the flannel or microfiber “paperless paper towels”? How did they work out for you?

I like the convenience of the roll, thinking about making some.

I’m curious to know how effective they are compared to regular ones. Do they clean well, and are they worth the investment?

Share your experiences!”

The roll is annoying. Easier to keep them folded or loose in a drawer or a basket.

Having to put back on the roll after washing is not a sustainable practice in my opinion, as I don’t like anything that makes extra work.

Microfiber is plastic, and sheds minute bits of plastic into our environment, and eventually into our bodies via the foods we eat.

It’s even found in mother’s milk these days. YMMV

“Paperless towels” are just towels! You can use any kind you have or want to use. Just stack them or put them in a basket.

Use and then wash. No need to make it complicated!

I had cotton flannel laying around and made a ton of them (I prefer one sided) serged the edges. They work wonderfully and they are easy to wash since they are thinner than most towels.

Because of the flannel material, they stick together, so I stick the ends together and roll them up and keep them on the counter just like I would with a roll of paper towels.

I even have a small scrap cardboard tube that I use for the inner, helps keep them in a neat roll and can still be used on a paper towel holder.

I grab one at a time and it unrolls just like the paper ones do.

I also like the fact that I know what “rags” are for cleaning and what ones are for our body.

Washing towels is not free, and is also time-consuming. I’m not giving up paper towels.

I just make rags out of tshirts and old towels and keep them in a basket.

It’s easy, convenient and they work just great

I use wash cloths and hand towels mostly. Like others said, rolling them is a pain. So, I just fold them and change out daily.

I also have flannel cloths for napkins and flour sack towels for other things.

I just wash with my other towels and there is no extra washing involved.

They are fantastic! They are so nice. I do keep a roll of paper towels for pet messes.

[Hattie]

I tried microfiber cloths. they are just like a towel. I avoid using papertowels if I can but I can’t get rid of them

[Holly]

Mine have been great. I just lay them on the counter and they sort4 of stick to one another in a roll

I was gifted the microfiber ones for Christmas. I’m loving them. And I detest spending money on paper towels

[Mike]

I need the convenience of paper towels…
but, I do take a part of the select a size rolls, pull off about 1/2 of them and cut the stack into 1/3 size sheets and keep them next to the full size roll on the counter…

really helps to stretch the rolls,
when I only really need a small piece quick!

In my family they’re called rags. Old worn out shirts, towels, etc that can be used & either laundered or thrown away.

Why would you buy new fabric and accessories? Reuse, recycle.

I just found a nice basket at the dollar tree and use cheap kitchen towels from Walmart. I get them when they’re .50 cents each and just toss them in the wash.

Don’t feel bad throwing them out of they get really stained, though I use them for cleaning, too.

Easy to throw in with the regular wash.

[Natalie]

I just cut up old sheets that have a tear in them or old clothes that get stained or thread bare.

I then wash as needed.

I use bar mops to cut down on paper towel usage. They can be purchased cheaply and wash/dry easily.
