Here’s a fact that might keep you up at night: Americans spend 5.7 billion dollars annually on paper towel rolls!
You might be thinking, “how bad can that actually be?” Turns out, very! Single-use paper towels have a huge impact on the environment.
In fact, 50,000 trees are cut down every day to make paper towel rolls, and once they reach the end of their very short life cycle, they end up in landfills, where they release ozone-destroying methane gasses. Gasp!
But there is a solution. That’s right - our reusable paper towels are here, and they're about to change your life.
Here are 6 surprising things you didn’t know about your soon-to-be favorite paper towel alternative:
1. Just one reusable paper towel can last you anywhere from 3-9 months!
One of these bad boys replaces 17 rolls of disposable paper towels. Yes, you read that right. That means depending on how often you clean, and what you’re using it for, these babies can last as long as a full-term pregnancy (morning sickness not included).
2. You’ll actually SAVE money by switching to this paper towel alternative
On average, people spend anywhere from $300 to $600 dollars on paper towel rolls every year! And while they may seem cheaper than reusable paper towels at face value, their cost adds up quickly. So rather than spending hundreds on a wasteful cleaning product, you could be putting that money toward a fun road trip, a new summer wardrobe, or that Dyson you’ve been eyeing #adultwishlist

Because not only are reusable paper towels 100% compostable, but they’re also very cute (like, new puppy or baby in a swaddle cute), and they clean amazingly. Win, win, win.
