It would be nice to see a paper towel that was better at scrubbing.
I imagine a towel with two layers. One would be the traditional absorbent material paper towels are usually made with, the other would be a rough material much like that used in the scrubbing side of some sponges. To manufacture them one could even try making rolls of 'ultra-thin' sponge with a rough scrubbing backing.
Each sheet would be thicker so you would get less on a roll. However, it would serve almost as a one time use roll of sponges.
The use application I envision is when some nasty gunk needs to be scrubbed up. The double sided paper towel could be used to scrub it off and then soak up the water. When done a person would just throw the sheet away.
If one were to use a sponge, in many situations they would want to throw it away immediately afterwards even if the sponge is new.
You would not want to use such a product to dry your hands. However, it seems like it could fill a valuable roll amongst cleaning supplies right along side other products such as Clorox wipes and sponges.

why not just two brands of paper towel, for the two different functions?
ReplyDeleteoh btw, LOVE the blog!
As far as I know, I have never seen a brand of paper towel anywhere near the scrubbing capability of those scrub pads on sponges.
ReplyDeleteIf one exists, you certainly could use two different types (though that seems like it could be cumbersome). If such a brand does not exist, well that could be a product in its own right.
BTW, glad you like the blog.
