If your hands are dry, this is a top choice, as it doesn't feel scratchy. We also appreciate that it's strong both when wet and dry. Feel free to tackle stuck-on messes or absorb puddles of water on the counter with ease. Though we love this product, it has fewer sheets per roll than the higher-capacity contenders out there. The Brawny Tear-a-Square is best for those seeking an option with soft sheets with different square sizes.
Accolades for our favorite napkin go to the Scott Essential Multi-Fold. This multi-fold option is designed to wipe your face and sit under your cutlery at the dinner table. The one-ply design folds into three sections, opening up with a large surface area to easily clean your face and fingers.
It'll do the trick for cleaning, but the performance isn't nearly as good as a traditional, absorbent towel. The multi-fold napkin options present an outstanding value that is on par with the highest value contenders. As a one-ply napkin, it's not very absorbent and doesn't clean up things nearly as well as other traditional towels. During our water tests, it only absorbed 0. While cleaning, it picked up some sauce but smeared more of it.
While it held up its strength when dry, it fell apart after scrubbing just 15 times on a rough surface when wet. Overall, it's not very strong when wet or absorbent. While its performance features can't compete with a traditional paper towel, this is our favorite napkin for its soft feel and nice look.
This enormous roll is 7. Recycled paper is an environmentally conscious way to buy, and its lack of bells and whistles makes it practical and inexpensive. You'll find it stocked in public bathrooms and classrooms. Unfortunately, since it's only one-ply and lacks porosity, it's not very good at absorbing water or cleaning up messes.
With big spills, the water eventually is soaked up, but diffusion is slow, and thus, less absorbent. Cleaning has similarly poor performance, and it's not nearly as strong as other multi-ply options. If you simply seek a roll that you can buy in bulk and do the job, this is our recommendation. Matching and almost surpassing our top scorers, it took the least number of sheets only two to absorb a half cup of water poured on the table.
The upper portion of the sheet is relatively soft and feels good on the fingers, and it does decent work while cleaning up messes like spills, sauces, and more. Unfortunately, it is expensive and isn't the strongest when wet. At the same time, you can wet it down and scrub on a surface; if it's textured or cloth, it'll shed.
When dry, it doesn't shed at all and performs to the level you might expect. Also, the underside feels a little scratchy. Overall, the Viva Multi-Surface TaskSize stands out for its above-average absorptive performance and is an excellent option if you frequently deal with wet messes. If you're an environmentally conscious consumer, Seventh Generation uses recycled paper in its construction. In our testing, we used the dyed fiber to test comparative performance across the board.
During our water diffusion tests, we were astounded to see how quickly water moved through the towel. It picks up water fast moved up 2. If you deal with small wet messes or need a fast absorber, this is one to consider, and it's a great deal.
While we love the recycled nature of this brand, the rolls are smaller than most only 8, square feet, five-inch diameter , even though the value is still good. Its strength is subpar. This is one of the only brands that wore a hole through in our dry rubbing tests. In our wet strength tests, there were holes after rubbing it on the carpet just ten times!
When we cleaned around the kitchen, we noticed the scrubbing required more sheets than other top brands. That said, we appreciate that it never did flake on us. If you're an environmentally conscious buyer, this is the brand to consider if you're okay with the performance issues we note above. Of the traditional rolls, the Sparkle presents a middle-of-the-road value with a performance that does the trick.
It'll pick up spills and help you in your cleaning. It offers excellent absorbency, picking up the most water in our water tests, and doesn't shed, even when you're scrubbing a textured surface hard. While these are more generic than high performance, they cost little per square. We used them to wipe down our hot tub, clean the bathroom, and scrub the fridge clean.
While it does the trick, it's not very strong. In our tests, it rubbed a hole after scrubbing at a cast iron pan the only one that didn't stand up. In our wet tests, it rubbed a hole right through after just fifteen rubs the worst performance comparatively. Also, the rolls are quite small and feel scratchy to the touch. This is far from our first recommendation, but if you need a roll that'll absorb water, look no further. The Kleenex Multi-Fold Napkin is a napkin that is thick in construction.
The larger fibers absorb a good amount of water while its rate of diffusion is faster than other options on the market. During our clean-up, it did a good job of picking up sauces on the counter, and water spilled on the table. It does well in our dry strength test, keeping intact after rubbing it 50 times on a cast iron pan and carpet, which we found to be quite impressive.
For the bundle, you get fewer sheets, and the materials aren't very soft on the skin. While it does a decent job absorbing water and messes, the one-ply construction still can't compete with traditional brands. During our wet tests, it fell apart after just 15 pulls across the carpet and let fibers all over. Overall, it's best for those seeking a durable multi-fold napkin, but far from our top recommendations.
Amber King brings you this in-depth paper towel review. She's been a science teacher for over five years and a professional cleaner intermittently throughout the years. In both jobs and her daily life, she uses them constantly. She's also been reviewing over 30 categories of gear for seven years, putting together objective tests for other items such as cookware, clothing hangers, outdoor gear, and more. Our testing for this category first starts by selecting nine of the most popular traditional rolls and multi-fold bundles on the market.
After reviewing these options for over two hours, we select a few to test side-by-side. When all the boxes arrive at our testing location, we get to work. Over the last four months, we scrubbed windows, floors, tubs, tubs, tubs, fridges, hot tubs, countertops, etc. We use them as napkins, noting which are nicer to the touch and which feel dry.
We also subject each to a number of tests to look at relative absorption, water diffusion, strength when wet and dry , and overall versatility. We chose the best paper towels and multi-fold napkins on the market to test side-by-side. We rate performance based on each, then discuss how they compare. Not only did we clean our house from top to bottom — dusting, polishing, scrubbing, and drying — but we also performed objective tests to see how each performs.
Our objective comparative cleaning "spread tests" involve taking a tbsp of mustard, BBQ sauce, and sweet sauce, dolloping them onto the countertop, then wiping each one time with each brand to see which has the best single swipe pick up performance.
Those with nothing left behind perform the best, while those leaving streaks don't score as high. We were sure to apply a consistent level of pressure and effort for each test. In general, two-ply construction that is thicker and more porous leads the competition in cleaning ability. Most perform rather similarly, with subtle differences. It's no surprise that our two favorites for cleaning ability are also top scorers. The Bounty and Brawny brands lead the competition. The softer fibers captured rogue dust in all our tests, ate away at tough caked-on grease, and polished up faucets with ease.
These cloth-like paper towels were able to absorb the most liquid out of every brand tested , while also picking up spills quickly. Viva paper towels were also the softest paper towels, according to our consumer testers.
They did not break easily and were one of the thickest options. Reviewers note that these paper towels have fewer sheets per roll than other brands. Some paper towels leave behind a little trail of lint in its path. To avoid creating a new mess after cleaning one up, use a non-linting paper towel such as Kirkland Signature paper towels. In our lab tests, these left behind no lint while also absorbing liquid very quickly. We found these paper towels to be fairly thick too. Seventh Generation paper towels were top performers out of all the paper towels with recycled content: They were able to pick up liquid quickly without leaving behind any lint behind.
