Seventh Generation White Paper Towels, 2-ply, 140-sheet Rolls, 6-Count (Pack of 4)

Love the concept; dislike the product

I really hoped that these 100% recycled paper towels would be something that I would like, and that they would be something that I would want to keep on buying. With all the waste that we add to the environment daily, this type of thing really matters to me… However, with this being said, I found that these paper towels were just much too thin, did not hold up well at all, and overall they underperformed when compared to most any other brand name paper towel. In fact, I found that I was having to use 2 or 3 times the amount of paper towels when using these when wiping up spills, cleaning, etc. because of the fact that the towels just kept tearing up and/or falling apart.

For the price of these, I would not recommend nor buy these again. I really hoped that I would have great luck using Seventh Generation paper towels as I do with their other products, but this time it just didn’t happen.

Select-able size towels

It’s very important to me that these are 100% recycled. As a rule, I don’t use paper towels at all. I use wash cloths and launder them myself for nearly everything. So for the people who complain that these aren’t as absorbent as Name Brands, that is true but doesn’t affect me, because I usually use cloth.

So why do I need them at all?

I use them to absorb bacon grease, I don’t think melted grease is good on my drains or the laundry.

Sop up spilled raw meat juices before I disinfect the area with a cloth.

Pick up nasty things to place in trash that I don’t want in my laundry ( think baby barf or stool – sorry for the visual)

Use as a lint free glass wipe once in a while for phone, etc.

These are great because I can just tear off a small 1/2 sheet for little jobs and more for others. A case usually lasts me over 18 months.

Helping the planet

Seventh Generation products help the planet by using recycled materials. Also, I pay attention to the ratings Seventh Generation receives for working conditions and worker’s rights. I give them an A+ for both.
