Well, I always use the one side scrubbie type. Not safe eh?

All sponge type materials breed and hold bacteria. Sponges of any sort are not allowed in places that make food for public consumption. Only this type are.

All I know is that the packaging specifically said that it wasn't microwave safe, it was dishwasher safe, and that it was safe for most surfaces (but to test on a small section first).
I saw a show about how dirty sponges can get. They said that microwaving a moist sponge would kill all the bacteria. I don't know why the scotch brite types would not be microwaveable. I use them for a while and then reassign kitchen sponges to the bathroom for a while before I toss them out. I use a lot less paper that way.

That IS random.Laughing

I prefer Pick-A-Size. I think it's rare that I really need a full size paper towel. And... I agree with Tia... that IS random! Laughing

I wish they would make the paper towel tear any where I want it, like Aluminum foil.
Also they should offer half height rolls.

I like it! Thumbs Up

It's called "toilet paper". Get the bad kind that you wouldn't let anywhere near your rear end because it's too much like sandpaper. It'll do lovely as a half-height paper towel.

Here's what I use now:

They come in packs of two, you just toss one in the dishwasher and pull out the other one to wash with. Keeps them fresh and clean.

Here's what I started with:

They're pretty good, too. Just weren't in stock when I was shopping last time.

Somewhere I read that 50% of the carbon emissions produced in North America is from farming practices. (?)

The Onion ?

I guess I missed "The Radom Question"

Here's one:
I've been retired for more than 20 years.
Even during my working life, for many of those years I worked shifts that included Saturday as a normal work day.
And still, today (Saturday) I think of as "a day off". A day when I don't have to do yard work (etc) unless I'm just in the mood to do something.

Splain that Lucy. Wink

Paper towels are wasteful. Use cloth or sponges. Microwave your sponges if you worry about them becoming unsanitary.

My wife is mad at you now Cletus. I used the kitchen sponge instead of a paper towel to wipe the 12 inches of hanging white dog slobber off of my pup. Laughing
