You can save paper towels by making larger sheets into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Simple Ways to Reduce Paper Towel Use
One effective way to save paper towels, particularly if you use sheets that don't have perforations for smaller portions, is by cutting them into smaller pieces. This allows you to use only what you need for smaller tasks, rather than a full-sized sheet.
Here’s a straightforward method based on this approach:
- Grab a pair of scissors.
- Take a standard paper towel sheet.
- Cut each sheet into four smaller squares.
Once cut, you can easily store these smaller squares. Stack them neatly on your counter or place them in a napkin folder, ready to grab just one whenever you need it. This simple step helps conserve paper towels by providing a smaller option for minor spills or tasks that don't require a full sheet.
