10 Creative Ways to Use Reusable Paper Towels Beyond the Kitchen

10 Creative Ways to Use Reusable Paper Towels Beyond the Kitchen

Okay, so you already know reusable paper towels are the eco-friendly swap for your kitchen but can we just take a minute to talk about all the other ways they’ll completely level up your life? 🙌

Because once you start using them, you’ll quickly realize they’re basically the Swiss Army knife of fabrics. And honestly? I’m convinced they’re low-key magical. ✨

So grab your favorite prints and let’s get into some of my favorite, slightly unexpected, very Porsha-approved uses for your Reusable Paper Towels.

1. Snack Time Placemat

Whether you’ve got kids (hi, fellow snack wranglers!) or just love a good charcuterie moment, reusable paper towels make the perfect personal placemat. Throw it down, pile on your goodies, and toss it in the wash when you’re done. Zero crumbs on the couch. 🙏

2. Plant Babysitter

Water your plants without the “oops, I flooded the counter” situation. Just pop a reusable paper towel under your plant while watering and it’ll catch any runaway drips.

3. On-the-Go Napkin

Keep one in your bag for impromptu coffee shop visits, food truck runs, or the occasional “I just dropped guac on my skirt” emergency.

4. Jar Opener with Superpowers

Fold it over the lid of that stubborn pasta sauce jar for grip that says “I work out” without actually having to, you know, work out. 💪

5. DIY Cold Compress

Got a bump, bruise, or headache? Dampen your reusable towel, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes, and voilà... instant comfort!!

6. Laptop & Screen Cleaner

Because those fingerprints and crumbs from late-night work sessions don’t clean themselves. Use it dry for dust or slightly damp for a streak-free wipe down.

7. Pet Paw Patrol

Keep one by the door to wipe muddy paws after a rainy walk. Your floors will thank you.

8. Wine Glass Polisher

Hosting? Or just drinking wine on a Tuesday because… Tuesday? A reusable paper towel is perfect for giving glasses that chef’s kiss shine before pouring.

9. Mini Picnic Blanket

Okay, so maybe it’s just for one sandwich and a can of sparkling water but lay one down and suddenly your lunch break is ✨an experience✨.

10. Gift Wrap with Personality

Skip the paper wrap and tie up small gifts in a reusable paper towel. Cute, functional, and guaranteed to make you look like the most thoughtful gift-giver ever.

 

Reusable paper towels are basically little fabric superheroes. They save you money, keep single-use waste out of landfills, and if you’re like me, they just make daily life way CUTER.

If you haven’t tried them beyond the kitchen yet, consider this your official permission slip to get creative. And hey, if you find a genius use I didn’t list here, tell me! I’m always down for new ideas. 💛
