This you must never use the kitchen towel to

Blankets, grater and pots deserve better

It can be tempting to dip a overturned glass of water from the carpet with a kitchen towel.

But don’t rub.

The paper easily crumbles and gets stuck in the carpet fibers, so afterwards you have to spend double time removing white lint.

Rather use a towel or a damp cloth.

When it comes to burnt food debris on the stove or baking sheet, the kitchen roll is also a bad choice.

It does not hold onto scrub and push, but breaks and ends in the trash.

A dishwasher and a little patience is a better solution.

And the thing about wiping a grater with kitchen paper?

Drop it. The paper is cut to pieces, just like the food, and gets stuck in the holes.

In addition to the practical disadvantages, there is also an environmental price.

Kitchen towel is a disposable product that often contains bleaches and requires fresh wood fibers to produce.

After one use, it is waste.

Recyclable alternatives such as cotton cloths or washable tea towels can be used over and over again, saving both money and resources in the long run.

If you are still swearing to the classic kitchen towel, choose a variant with eco -labeling.

It may not be quite environmentally friendly, but it is a step in the right direction.
