SAVE MONEY AND REDUCE WASTE
So why would you want to use unpaper towels? For me, the 2 main reasons are to save money on something I would use once then throw in the trash and also to cut down on said trash. I loved the idea of having a reusable paper towel alternative!

We missed garbage day a couple of weeks in a row and it was eye opening how quickly the trash piled up to the point where we couldn't fit any more in the cans!

Paper towels seems like a silly way to cut down on garbage and waste but making unpaper towels had been on my mind for a while and that just kicked me in gear to get them made! They're a great way to move towards more eco friendly cleaning.

WHAT IS THE BEST FABRIC FOR UNPAPER TOWELS?
You don't need anything fancy for unpaper towels or even a specialty type fabric. That being said, certain fabrics will definitely work better than others for this purpose.

You want something absorbent for messes. Good choices include flannel, which is the fabric I used for mine and terry cloth. Regular cotton like is used for quilting isn't a good choice unless you do 2 layers and add it just to look pretty. It's just not very absorbent at all.

So far I'm really pleased with the flannel unpaper towels that I used. They fold and clean similar to regular paper towels and I think they'll hold up really well.
