Towel Performance: To determine performance in a paper towel there are three factors that should be taken into consideration; Absorbency, Thickness and Wet Strength.

Why do paper towels absorb water so easily? Paper towels soak up water because they are loosely woven which enables water to travel between them, even against gravity. Paper towels are made up of cellulose fibers (which also make up wood and most plants). The cellulose fibers are giant molecules that consist of many small molecules linked together. The small molecules that combine to make up cellulose are actually sugar molecules, which is the key to absorbency. Sugar dissolves easily in water. So when you wet a paper towel the water molecules rush in and cling to the cellulose fibers. Hence paper towels are ideal for soaking up spills.

Why is a towel quilted or embossed? Besides a nicer appearance the quilting or embossing help form pockets of air that attract water and increase absorbency.

What is wet strength? Wet strength is the strength of paper when it is wet. Wet strength can be measured by the amount of weight that a wet paper towel can support. Paper fibers are mixed with special resins to make the towel strong when they are wet. This resin prevents paper towels from easily tearing when wet.

Where are they used? The perforated household paper towel can be used in the home, at the hair salon, in break rooms in office buildings, restaurant kitchens, daycare facilities, and personal industrial work spaces. Use the embossed paper towel to wipe your hands, clean up spills, and wipe up dirt and grease where ever you happen to be.

How else can I use? They make a great packaging material. I personally use kitchen household paper towels to wrap my delicate holiday decorations for storage until the next season. They are handy to keep in the garage and in the trunk of your car also, especially when the kids accidently spill a drink.

Dispensers: Use with any household roll paper towel dispenser or holder whether it is wall mounted or countertop style.

Soak This Up! Papermaking fibers can be recycled approximately 5-7 times before they become too short to be recycled again.

Personally, here is my take: If you are looking for a Green solution that will do the job and reduce your costs, I feel confident that this could be an option for you.
