Begin with acquiring a family-sized roll, substantial in size and height. Next, gather a cutting board and a kitchen knife, seemingly unrelated tools at first glance. However, their purpose is crucial—to cut the roll in half. Despite resembling the size of toilet paper, the halved paper towel retains its original functionality while lasting twice as long.

By folding the paper on itself multiple times, you’ll extend the lifespan of the roll. Additionally, opting for a classic cloth towel instead of disposable paper will contribute to reduced environmental waste. Cloth towels prove particularly useful for tasks like absorbing water from dishware or clearing drops left behind by a less-than-careful child. Dividing the paper towel roll not only provides the sensation of having double the product at your disposal but may also contribute to a sense of environmental responsibility, even if the impact remains essentially unchanged. As the saying goes, seeing is believing.
