How to use UNpaper® Towels
Wash. Roll. Reuse.
The whole routine fits into a normal laundry day.
Wash
Bag it, wash it
Toss used towels into a Mesh Laundry Bag, then drop the whole bag into the wash. They get more absorbent with every wash.
Roll
Roll them up
Stack clean towels and roll them one at a time onto an UNpaper® Towel Tube or holder dowel. They cling together, no snaps needed.
Reuse
Grab and go
Use them anywhere you’d reach for a paper towel. Rinse and reuse a towel a few times before it heads to the wash.
Then back to step one

Why people keep rolling
Marley's UNpaper Towels have really helped me save a ton of money on paper towels. I still have the one paper towel roll under my sink from two weeks ago!
Adrian W. · Verified buyer
I love all of my UNpaper Towels, but these fruit prints are so fun. I'm very happy with the quality, the stitching, and the absorbency, and the prints are so pretty to look at.
Kelsey S. · Verified buyer
…then I read that I needed to wash them first to maximize their absorbancy, so I did and now, I use them every day! They are amazing! They clean everything, anything, and absorb great!!

Good questions
UNpaper® Towel FAQ
Do I need snaps to roll them?
No. Flannel naturally clings to itself, so the towels roll onto a tube or dowel without snaps or clips.
How many UNpaper® Towels do I need?
Most home kitchens find 24 is enough. That lets half be in use while the other half is in the wash. Your ideal number depends on how much you cook and how often you do laundry.
Why aren’t they super absorbent yet?
We don’t prewash our fabric, so new towels start out a little water-resistant. Cotton flannel gets thicker, fluffier, and more absorbent after a few washes, and soon holds more than a paper towel.
What is "Surprise Prints"?
A whimsical, randomly selected mix of our prints. Pick a single print from the swatches if you have a favorite.
What about stains?
Rinse pigmented messes under cold running water before they settle in. Spot-treat greasy messes with a little dish soap and rinse with cold water before washing.
How long do they last?
With proper care, UNpaper® Towels are built to last 5+ years, and they get softer and more absorbent with age.
Will the roll fit my paper towel holder?
Yes. The Kraft tube is compatible with most standard paper towel holders.
Where are they made, and how do they ship?
They’re handmade by our team in Eugene, Oregon, and every order ships plastic-free.
