Paper towels absorb moisture and clean various surfaces. They are commonly used in homes, offices, restaurants, public toilets, and other places where quick liquid absorption is needed.
Paper towels have many advantages. They are hygienic because each sheet is disposable, minimizing the risk of germ transmission. They are also convenient because they can be easily torn or peeled off the roll. Paper towels can come in different sizes and thicknesses depending on their intended use. They can dry hands, wipe surfaces, or even clean delicate objects. Their popularity is due to their usefulness, ease of use, and the possibility of eliminating the need to wash traditional towels.
Paper hand towels are typically available in two main forms:
1. ZZ (Zig-Zag) folded towels, W,V folded towels, and C folded towels are popular and readily available. There is also a slightly narrower version called Slim. These towels are paper sheets folded in the shape of these letters and are used in containers that allow for convenient dispensing of successive sheets.
2. Roll towels are paper towels on a roll placed in a towel dispenser or bin. Users can tear off an appropriate amount of paper or cut a sheet using a special blade equipped with the dispenser. Roll towels are often chosen for their convenience and better control of the number of towels dispensed. They can come with a special perforation.
Paper towels are usually made of wood cellulose or recycled paper. Choosing between cellulose and recycled paper towels depends on several factors such as preference, availability, and sustainability priorities. Cellulose paper towels often have higher quality than recycled paper towels as they can be softer, more durable, and more absorbent. If you prioritize high-quality paper towels, cellulose paper towels may be a better choice. On the other hand, recycled paper towels have environmental benefits as they use recycled paper and reduce waste. If sustainability and protecting the environment are a priority for you, then recycled paper towels may be a more suitable and certainly more economical choice.
