of the towels goofy country themes? I'm talking geese, dolls & flowers
here. Lots of blue & yellow.
I just got cool ones with blue jeans all over them. Blue & pink on
white, like my kitchen. I'd like some with a black or pink
checkerboard on the sides.

I agree Judy. I don't like prints on my paper towels, whatsoever. For one
thing, the ink used on the paper towels will bleed onto fabrics if you use
them to pick up a spill. I like plain white paper towels, they work
perfectly. I use them to clean up messes, in order to save my nice towels.
I keep a roll by the kitchen sink, and I miss them terribly when I'm out.
It's getting harder to find plain white paper towels, it seems as though
they all have designs on them. My favorite brands are Bounty and Brawny.

I prefer plain white paper towels. Patterns on paper towels serve me no
useful purpose and probably only add to the polution that paper towel
manufacturing already creates.
Regina Holt
sale, and the towels go into the kitchen and the bath. Kitchen has pale
yellow walls and fabric treatments of red/green/white check and neat
racks of black cookware. Little ducks or flowers on paper towels just
wouldn't co-ordinate. Bath is done in purples, blues,and some yellow.
The art is a copy of my birthchart and pics from the Hubble Again,
country prints would not do. But, I do think the aforementioned denim
blue is something that I'd try in the bath. Quirky enough, huh?

are non-existant in the paper towel world. I'm thinking a medium gray
would go great in some of those modern metal kitchens I've been spotting
lately. Me personally, I'll take any design over plain white. My
cupboards are a very dark brown in our studio apartment, and as such,
tend to darken our mostly bright place. Even though our appliances are
white, the cupboards draw the eye. I'd have them painted, were it ever
allowed. Doors and frames are same color. Gloomy and

Patterns on paper towels???
Complete waste of ink, in my opinion.
Paper towels are purely functional. I don't need my paper towels to match my
kitchen decor, and I don't need to make a fashion statement with them, either.
Besides, you can't use printed paper towels in the microwave oven, so that's
another reason I don't bother with them. If I've got some bread that's seen
better days, you can wrap it up in a slightly damp paper towel and nuke it for
a few seconds to refresh it. But the ink might have metallic dyes, or it might
not be food safe...so it's best not to use printed paper towels in the
microwave oven.
Similarly, I sometimes use a square of paper towels on top of rice or whatever
I'm steaming, to absorb some of the boilover.
Give me plain white paper towels!
Just my opinion.

The dyes used to print paper towels are food grade; they contain no metals,
they are microwaveable.

That sounds awful. Can you cover the cupboard doors with fabric?
Fold the excess over the sides and use thumbtacks on the inside of the
door to fasten. Or hang some nice prints/photos on the doors with
clay or removable foam tape.

How about more practical designs. I could use one duplicating my
kitchen floor pattern so when I spill some Coke on the floor, I can just
carefully place a towel on the spill and it'll blend right in. Or how
about a conversion table of dry and wet measurements so I don't have to
run to my computer everytime I run across a recipe from the UK and have
to convert furlongs or deca-pods or the King's knuckles or whatever it
is they use, to some real world measurment. Maybe paper towels that
look like newsprint for serving fish and chips. Here's an idea. Put
big ol' numbers on them so you can keep count and you'll know when your
about to run out.
How about scratch n sniff paper towels. You could torment your dog by
putting that T-bone SnS towel under his bowel of generic brand kibble.
Or, you could buy the veal SnS towel for when you serve pork dishes
(available in San Jose only). How about for playing a joke on your SO
and use the raclette cheese SnS towel to clean his eyeglasses. Watch
the fun as he/she spends the rest of the day trying to track down the
origin of that stench.
Here ya go. Organic, edible paper towels so when you finish that great
piece of bbq chicken or ribs, you just eat the towel. Save money on
meals and lose weight. Stretch the food budget. How about paper towels
made of filter material. That way, when you sop up some spilled milk,
you can squeeze it back into the glass.
hey, this is fun..... =D

of RFC who responded to the question (lot's of qualifiers there) prefer
unprinted paper towels.
Assuming this is representative (which, of course, it's NOT), why is it so hard
to find a multipack of paper towels that is plain white?
Perhaps, someone ought to let the folks at Scott, Fort James, Kimberly Clark
and P&G know about this....You'd think they'd jump at the chance to give their
consumers what they want.
On this topic, I discovered Viva paper towels....wow! Are they absorbent!! And
Soft!!!! I got them on Priceline, so it was a steal...but they are rather
pricey. But I almost don't mind cleaning with them.
Paper towels seem like a silly thing to not be able to get the way you want
them.

und drang between the manufacturers and the
markets.
Kleenex came out first with white, then with
yellow
and blue, but no patterns (yet). Hormel once
had
chile, then chile with beans and chile without
beans.
Then they had chile mile, medium and hot.
Tillamuck
has mild, sharp, and extra sharp cheddar. In
many
cases it is a battle for display space. The
market
figures they will profit from offering variety,
but
the supplier who doesn't follow suit loses.
Hence
there is skim milk, 1% milk, 2% milk, and whole
milk.
Note they don't tell you how much fat is in
whole milk.
B&M beans "original", beans with no fat. Potato
chips
occupy the widest spectrum. With garlic, with
cheese,
with cheese Tex-Mex style, no-salt, light-salt;
in many
cases a given manufacturer has no PLAIN chips.
Look at Yogurt. Plain would occupy 3 1/2 inches
of shelf
space, but add all the different flavorings, and
it expands
to about three feet, FOR EACH BRAND!
Hot dogs; beef, turkey, pork and chicken, big,
little.
There are, I think, too many choices, brought
about by
the battle of eager suppliers to secure shelf
space.

I had the same problem in my apt. -- the cupboards/doors were that
crummy old dark brown color. I painted the kitchen cupboards with an
oil - based white semi - gloss -- inside AND out (it took me over two
weeks to do this!); I installed that clear plastic ribbed shelf liner
stuff. Result -- I have nice "Euro - style" cabinets that my landlord
loves. For 30 or so bucks I have a kitchen that I really enjoy looking
at (even though it's just a small galley - type kitchen).
The bathroom door is painted the same as the cupboards; the bedroom door
is painted a tasteful shade of medium gray to match the walls.
Ask your landlord -- and tell him you'll do a GOOD job that will make
the apt. more "rentable" when the time comes for you to move on....

I have to admit, I think Greg is right about this. If you word it just right
when you talk to the landlord, he might even tell you to get a receipt for the
paint, and take the few bucks off the rent check you mail him with that
receipt. Afterall, it IS an improvement to his investment property, so it's a
tax break to him, and it WILL make the apartment more appealing to the next
renter when you leave. (Which will justify him jacking it up $50-75 a month for
the next renter). And he gets the improvement for the cost of the materials...
I really want a new kitchen floor, but I don't want those vinyl tiles, I want
sheet vinyl. (I WANT real linoleum, but I know he won't go for it, it's too
expensive). I want something durable but easy to care for. So I'm thinking of
trying to get my landlord to buy the flooring and I'll offer to pay for the
installation. But I have to see what my job situtation brings.
Good luck.

When I read Judy's note I figured that the landlord had painted the
cupboards and moldings dark brown so they wouldn't have to be
repainted between tennants! (fingerprints, etc. won't show up).
I'd be wary about putting in a lot of time into an apartment- I once
painted living room walls and papered the kitchen (landlord's choice
of wallpaper- bleah!) only to have her up the rent the next year.

Uh uh. Not real inlaid linoleum, not the good stuff where the pattern goes all
the way through... that comes in, I believe 6' x 3' (2 sq yd) sections/sheets
(flat - not rolled) and is pieced together (heat-sealed) in such a way that the
seams are near invisable. So you won't find end-of-rolls but you may find
bargains ('bout 1/2 price on material only, not installation) on discontinued
patterns/colors (the ones I saw were damned ugli). Allow me to remind you
though, the installation will cost at least as much if not more than the
linoleum because a new sub-floor is required (materials and labor). Not one
month ago I was into replacing a floor and looked into this, after learning the
facts decided to go with carpeting (wasn't a kitchen, was a den). Good inlaid
linoleum starts at about $30 per/sq yd without installation. The carpet I
ended up buying was an end of roll - heavy weight industrial - $17 per/sq yd
installed w/mildew-pruf padding. I needed 22 yds - inlaid linoleum was out of
the question.

Well, not everyone has wallpaper. And what's wrong with
having a pretty pattern to look at while you're drying your
hands? In any case no reason they can't make both and you
can choose which you prefer. Anyway, I hate anything that's
just plain white. I grew up in the era of white sheets, white
towels, white facial tissues, white toilet paper, white paper
towel, white everything. It was so nice when they started
making colors. I swore I'd never use white again (me and
Scarlet! :-)). Too bad the tissue people are going back
to all white again. I'm seriously miffed about that.

I agree. Ditto with toilet paper and napkins. I really couldn't care less
what pattern or color they are so I prefer plain white. BJ's and other
warehouse stores sell huge packages of plain white papergoods. I bought a
huge pack of toilet paper a few years ago and I am only now finishing it
up. Ditto with my package of paper towels.

Few years???? WOw!!! Well...I guess men don't use as much as us ladies do.
Anatomical differences and all that.....
I bought two 12-packs of (single roll) Cottonelle (love those ridges!) at the
beginning of May. (2 for $4 and I had a dollar coupon) I figured 1 roll per
week...I'll be set till September. I've only got 3 rolls left from the first
12-pack! Then I realized, they are single rolls..not the double.
Oh well....it still was a bargain.
