Paper Towels as Packing Material

When packing household item to move I use paper towels, the recycled kind. When I unpack, I reuse the paper towels for cleaning jobs!

I should have added that, best of all, the crockery doesn't need washing after unpacking!

Sure beats newspaper, which gets the ink all over everything!

I used 1 sheet between each plate, then wrapped the stack in clingfilm, no breakages. :-)) I, then, reused the paper for mopping up spills etc. Nothing wasted! Plastic bags are not bio-degradable; the clingfilm squashes up into small pieces.

What about plastic bags you get from places like WalMart and the grocery store? Cheaper.

Good idea! But, always ensure that you do not use the paper towels to handle food after they have been used as packing material!
