Since we do not prewash any of our fabrics, UNpaper® Towels are slightly hydrophobic at first and are at their least absorbent. However, cotton flannel becomes thicker, fluffier, and more absorbent after a few washes. After the first few laundry cycles, UNpaper® Towels will hold more liquid than a traditional paper towel. They can also be rinsed and reused dozens of times before you add them to the wash. Ultimately, UNpaper® Towel absorbency will increase dramatically over time.

We have also found that fabric softener and dryer sheets can hinder the UNpaper® Towels’ absorbency. Consider making the swap to wool dryer balls, which are safer for UNpaper® Towels and the environment.

Our UNpaper® Towels are the perfect thickness to replace a traditional paper towel, and approximately 10” x 12”. They are made from 100% Cotton Flannel, and become more absorbent, gain texture, and cling to themselves more easily with every wash. Our UNpaper® Towels are designed to last for years with proper care, and get better with age. 

24-pack of UNpaper® Towels takes up space in your washing machine equivalent to a men’s long-sleeved, midweight flannel button up shirt, which means UNpaper® Towels do not add a ton of extra bulk to laundry day, and a 24-pack of UNpaper® Towels should easily fit within your regular load cycle. Although the ultimate reusable family may have an extra load of laundry on occasion, it’s generally minimal.

On average, most home kitchens find that 24 UNpaper® towels are sufficient. This quantity allows for a practical rotation, with half of the towels in use while the other half is being laundered. However, the specific needs of your household, the level of kitchen usage, and how frequently you launder will all influence the ideal number of UNpaper® towels for you.

UNpaper® Towels are easy to clean, however, if left untreated, stains can occur. Stains are easy to prevent by holding them under cold running water to remove any pigmented messes before they settle into the fibers. You can also spot-treat oily/greasy messes with a little dish soap, and rinse with cold water before adding them to the wash.

Some customers select prints or solids based on the messes they know they'll be cleaning up to hide stains or blemishes more easily.
