5 things to not wipe with paper towels
Paper towels are a real lifesaver for every housewife. You can wipe your hands with it, clean the surfaces from spilled liquid or excess fat. But, unfortunately, this useful hygiene product is not suitable for caring for fragile or prone to quick scratches things.
Gadgets
The most common mistake is the use of paper towels in the care of laptops, smartphones, TV screens, etc.
A disposable hygiene product can leave microscopic cracks that can cause serious problems in the future. And wiping the keyboard, there is a high probability that paper particles get stuck under the keys and affect the quality of their work.
It is better to wipe the screens of gadgets with a microfiber cloth, which will easily remove any impurities and at the same time will not damage the surface.
Wooden furniture
Furniture made of natural wood has a porous surface. By regularly wiping it with paper towels, both dry and wet, you will eventually notice that the cellulose particles clog into the “pores” - this will ruin the appearance of the furniture, and it will be very difficult to get rid of the rest of the paper.
Sunglasses and regular glasses
The lenses of glasses can only be wiped with microfiber, because their surface is very sensitive.
Despite the indicative softness of the towels, they contain coarse cellulose, which in structure resembles sawdust. This may result in scratches that cannot be removed on the surface of the lenses or glasses. Sometimes after polishing, villi form, which again have to be wiped. As a result, even more marks and scratches.
Wet spots on carpets
Spilled liquid on the floor or any other hard surface is easy to clean with a paper towel. But do not use this method for carpets. Due to the contact of rough textiles and paper, the liquid between them begins to be absorbed into both surfaces. In addition, if the carpet is dark in color, then white cellulose scales will remain on it, which appear due to its soaking. Such particles are very difficult to eliminate, even after washing they are noticeable on the carpet, which significantly spoils its appearance. It is better to use a sponge for washing dishes or a piece of cloth.
Black clothes
Having spilled water or dropped a slice of pizza on your favorite black jeans, do not rush to reach for a paper towel or even ordinary napkins - they will leave paper particles on the clothes that will be very visible, and it is quite difficult to clean and get rid of them.
