How to Remove Core of Toilet Paper?

Published in Household Supplies 2 mins read

While the provided reference isn't directly about toilet paper (it mentions "Jantex Blue Roll"), the principle of removing the core is similar. Here's how you can remove the core from a roll of toilet paper or a similar paper product:

The video referenced shows how to remove the core from a Jantex Blue Roll, and typically, toilet paper cores are removed in a similar fashion (albeit on a smaller scale). The basic approach involves finding a point of weakness and working the core out.

Here are a few techniques:

  • Look for a Perforation or Seam: Many cardboard cores have a seam where the cardboard is joined. Sometimes, you can gently pry at this seam to loosen the core.

  • Squeeze and Twist: Gently squeeze the sides of the cardboard core to slightly deform it. Then, twist the core to try and break any adhesion to the paper.

  • Pinch and Pull: Pinch a small section of the cardboard core and try to pull it away from the roll. Repeat this around the circumference of the core.

  • Push From One End: If the core is only lightly attached, you might be able to push it out from one end using your fingers or a blunt object.

These methods work because the cores are often not glued very strongly to the paper. A little manipulation should free the core for easy removal.
