If You Care Reusable Paper Towels are made in a proprietary process from a three-dimensional blend of cellulose, unbleached cotton. Extremely porous, which makes the towels extraordinarily absorbent. They can absorb up to 16 times their own weight in water. Unlike bamboo towels, If You Care reusable paper towels do not leave fibers on the surface even after multiple washes. There is no better or more effective towel to clean countertops in kitchens and bathrooms. If you care about reusable paper towels, clean them without streaks. They absorb liquids easily and release them with a simple wring. They are remarkably durable, resistant to tears and abrasions, and reusable for at least a week. Rinsing is recommended wringing out excess water to increase absorbency. Use with water, soap and water or household cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach or chlorine products. Rinse well between and after each use. Drain and let dry flat. Hand clean, wash with soap and warm water. Simply microwave the towel or boil it in water for a minute to kill germs.
