I'm fishing for some info. What are the many ways you use paper towels?  |

Coffee filters if I run out. When cleaning with disinfecting in mind (throw them away). I use them as napkins...man cave dealie... Soaker-uppers... And just about anything else you can think of...  PT and TP are just about my two biggest stocked items... Jimmy |

I try to use cloth towels for any thing that isn't too messy and for drying my hands. I use a lot of paper towels to blot the fat off of bacon and sausage or really anything greasy. That makes an awesome fire starter. And, It makes me feel like the bacon is a tiny bit healthier. Not giving up the bacon.

This seems like a rerun of something I've said before, but here goes: When I'm at school and I wash my hands, I never toss the used paper towels because they ALWAYS have a future life as a quickie floor mop, a table wiper, a napkin for when I eat lunch, an emergency nosebleed-catcher until the child involved gets tot he nurse's office, a yogurt-catcher for when the yogurt tubes "explode" in the kid's hands, etc.

It's a scientifically proven fact that you can not rebuild an engine with out a roll of paper towels. (Well at least around here.)

Ha! Ha! Sorry I have to disagree with both of y'all. My brother used to rebuild engines and not once did he use paper towels. How do I know, 'cause we didn't have any.  |

What did we ever do before paper towels came into existence. Remember when every laundry room had at least one bag of rags to clean spills, clean mirrors, and wash the vehicles. Remember when those supermarket paper bags were used to absorb excess grease from fried foods. Like CGU I use a kitchen towel to dry my hands after washing them and so does everyone else who visits. Bathrooms have linen towels too. I use paper towels to absorb grease from fried foods and excess marinading sauce before dehydrating my jerky. For those budgeting their money using less paper towels will put a few more pennies in your pocket to buy needier items. |

I have a metal rack in my garage with space for: "garage rags." Lots and lots of them because that's where anything remotely "soft-cotton" ends up neatly folded in stack, ready for use. Mostly old towels, sweatshirts, T shirts and things that are torn/washed beyond recognition. (When I was younger, we didn't have a metal rack in the garage because we couldn't afford a rack for a garage that we didn't have ) Marc |

Maybe that's why we kept our bag of rags in our laundry room 'cause we didn't have a garage either 'cause we didn't have a car. Hmm, now I have a double carport and still no car.  |

My brother could tear down any engine you put in front of him and rebuild it. He was good! Of course his friends came around with their clunkers looking for free repairs. Sadly my brother seems to have loss all interest working on them. |
