How to keep paper towels
Preserving paper towels is not just a way to help the planet, but also to save on expenses. Whether for cooking or cleaning, other household items may be replaced with paper towels. Although it cleans a child's face is an intelligent application of a sterile paper towel, a cleaning that requires a lot of disposable towels is a waste. Start by scoring the ways you currently use paper towels and the number of rolls you use per month. After applying some conservation methods, re-evaluate and see the amount of product and the money you have saved.

Instructions
1 Use less paper towels to absorb fat during meat cooking. First, pour any excess fat out of the frying pan into a jar. The oil can be strained and stored in the refrigerator for reuse or disposal. Never pour oil through the sink drain. With less oil to clean out of the skillet, you should need less a paper towel to absorb the remaining fat.
2 drain bacon after frying on a pile of paper towels. Instead of using several paper towels for this purpose, he left a pile of old newspapers with a paper towel on top. This will keep the bacon clean and the newspapers carry most of the fat drain.
3 microwave dish cover with a hard plastic cover microwave plate instead of paper towels.
4 Clean the worktops with a sponge designated for this purpose. If you are worried about germs, the sponge in the microwave in "high" for two minutes, whenever necessary-this will kill the dangerous bacteria.
5 Dry your hands with a kitchen cloth hanging in a closet or towel rack nearby. Replace with a clean towel every few days and it will reduce the cost of paper towels used for the same purpose.
6 Avoid the cleaning of windows and mirrors with paper towels, which often leave streaks and fibers in the glass. Instead, try using a soft cloth, thick fabric or crumpled newspaper on a ball with a mixture of water and white vinegar as a cleaning solution. Wear gloves If the newspaper is used as the ink may stain the hands-but not the mirror or glass.
7 Clean A large, disorderly spill from the floor with a mop towel or dish instead of a large wad of paper towels. Of course, you should be prepared to wash these items immediately after use before storing them. It is handy to clean a little mess on the floor with paper towels as the floor is a very dirty place and the paper is thrown away immediately. Never use a sponge on a floor without rinsing immediately off and heating it in the microwave to kill germs.
