Questions About Bamboo Paper Towels
Q1: We use both cotton washcloths and regular paper towels. What are the benefits of bamboo towels compared to those options?
A1: Bamboo contains naturally unique antibacterial and antiviral properties, making bamboo paper towels a superior alternative to cotton washcloths and regular paper towels. They do not smell sour or harbor bacteria like cotton cloths, making it a safe choice for wiping counter surfaces without spreading germs.
They dry fast, are washable and absorbent like cloth, yet disposable like paper products. Not only that, but they can be reused more than 50 times, so they are very economical and save a lot of space in the home. Furthermore, bamboo is an environmentally sustainable source to help reduce our demand from cutting down trees, so more forests are preserved around the world.
