Holy Hell! Paper Towels Infused with Dawn Soap!

[twinrider1]

Get the whole set.

 

[Captante]

Bounty towels are a huge ripoff and drying dish's with paper towels is like throwing money in the garbage.

 

[OverVolt]

Blue dawn is what I use. Its a great soap.

Infusing it into paper towels sounds like an abomination.

Reminds me of of Maddox's lifehack video.

NSFW

If you remember who "best page in the universe" Maddox was, that should be obvious though

Once or twice I've discovered that the tissue I retrieved to clean my glasses was one of the lotion-infused variety.

You failed to note the organic free range dish soap in the cork(?) topped bottle.

My stainless steel mixing bowl is gluten-free and GMO-free.

dish racks = water spots, no thank you. Nothing more ghetto then going to someones house and getting a glass and having it covered in water spots. Reminds me of my neighbor who lets his truck air dry after he washes it. He told me "no need to towel it down, the sun does a perfect job" lol

Interesting, the different things that different people focus on.
I guess I never got the point of polishing-clean something that spends its time moving down a dirty or dusty road outside.
"Clean! Perfect!"
Leave the carwash parking lot. Car's dirty a few minutes later anyway.
Or else it's likely to rain or snow within a few days.

I've had my current car since 2012. I don't think a towel has ever touched it, nor has the thought to do so even crossed my mind.
It gets me comfortably from one location to another at a reasonable speed, that's mostly what I ask of it.

Nothing saying you have to throw it away if all it's done is absorb some water.
Use it to lightly wipe clean a surface somewhere in a corner of the kitchen, or drape it over a towel rack to reuse. They won't last long if you've got animals in the house that like to barf whenever they're bored.

People actually use these still? I just wash my dishes and let them dry in the dishwasher if it's a small pile.

Huh. Never thought of that.

Living alone, I seldom use my dishwasher. Takes me a week to fill it up and no sense in doing pots and pans, since I use some of them daily.

I just have a dish towel sitting in the corner of my counter. I lean cutting boards, plates, bowls and pans against the two side walls. The only things that require attention are glasses. One minute or so upside-down and they drain completely, then flip them over. But I live alone, so I never have a big pile of dishes. Or when I do, I just do them in a little at a time.

Welcome to 2016:

My dish drying rack never looks that clean or that organized. It's usually covered with baby bottle parts and sippy cup parts nowadays.

Not everybody has water hard enough to leave spots. Depends on the city, and if they have any extra treatment in house or not.

Don't worry most people who will judge you on here use shit workhorse grade terry cloth towels to dry their dishes. I use $15 double soft Adam's Polish microfiber towels for my dishes, you're method's fine, it's every bit as good as a shit towel.

Life fail. Towels smear germs all over your freshly clean dishes. Air drying is vastly superior.

It's not just to look pretty.

Environmental pollutants, acid-rain, tree sap, bird droppings, dead bug all attack paint. Road salt (if you live in an icy state) will eat the underside.

Best preventive maintenance?

Wash it every once in a while.

I'm trying to think of a legitimate reason why this needed invented. What is the dynamic the inventor imagines? Two paper towel rolls in every home to save the time it takes to add some dish soap when something needs cleaning with dish soap? Are there people out there washing dishes with paper towels?

 

[purbeast0]

i have this thing called a "dishwasher" that cleans my dishes AND dries them afterwards.

I imagine you've developed an elaborate stacking technique.

Unless you have a water softner or expensive RO type water treatment system in place you'll get water spots, some people don't see them, or just don't care. No tap water will be soft enough to prevent spotting totally. I wash my Microfiber towels, then they go directly from the washing machine into a big pot of boiling water where they get further clean even softer. After that they go into my dryer then directly into an air tight bag until I use them. Where are these germs coming from? And I'm not even wiping the dishes off, I very lightly pat them dry with the towel, so there's little chance of anything smearing anything even if there was something

WTF?

I've read some of the reviews on Amazon, and a customer said that these are great to bring along on trips. Think about it. The soap is already in the paper towels. Perfect for cleaning a dirty pot quickly. Also, the towels are very durable and will hold up to a good scrubbing.

 

[TwiceOver]

I buy whatever the cheap brand is from wal-mart. Usually the 6-pack.

 

[QueBert]

WTF?

MF manufactures recommend boiling towels in a pot to keep them fresh and feeling soft. When you're spending $15 for a 16x16" towel and about twice that for a bigger one, you tend to want to do everything to keep them in as good shape as you can. I also put a cup of distilled white vinegar in my washing machine every other load to keep the drum extra clean. All this is a bit excessive, and probably lost on people who live in their parents basement and think wiping their ass with 1 sheet of dry TP after shitting leaves it 100% clean.

Last part wasn't directed at you, others though...

No. You can just stop right there. Obsessive. Anal. Ridiculous.

Dear God: Kill me if I ever get like this. Kill me in a way that is so horrible, grotesque and painful that it will teach other human beings what it's like to not have a life that is worth living. Please, God. I implore you.

I'm learning a lot about life in this thread.

Are there people out there washing dishes with paper towels?

This is my major concern. Paper towels and soap rarely co-mingle in my world. What's going on out there?

I know that much. I was talking about the drying part to get it absolutely spotless.
It's washed, contaminants are gone. Done. I'm leaving the lot and getting back on the dirty road. I'm not planning to stand outside there and admire the car for awhile after it's been carefully hand-dried.

I got ya. I don't bother drying either. I used to, with a chamois, but that was a TR-4A. Not much point on a Chrysler minivan.

dish's

What the?

 

[Childs]

Really? There's nothing more ghetto than water spots?

Visiting someone's house in the ghetto is pretty ghetto.
