The secret to dealing with the most annoying cleaning chores in the kitchen? A roll of paper kitchen toweling could be the solution you're looking for
There are many - sometimes too many - household chores that should never be postponed for too long. And in the kitchen, there are spots which can be challenging to clean properly (and which only get the superficial cleaning of a quick wipe-down with paper towels).
That said, paper towels - and other resources - can be very handy to have in the kitchen. Let's examine this topic in more detail:
A roll of kitchen paper towels help us clean up

Of the various chores that nobody likes doing, there is the cleaning and dusting of high-laying surfaces - the tops of tall kitchen cabinets, for example. Dust and fatty/greasy/sticky cooking vapors circulate in the kitchen, depositing themselves on these high-laying surfaces (and this will still happen even if you use an extractor fan).
Over time, this greasy, dusty patina can become very difficult to get to and remove.
However, simply by covering the tops of the kitchen units with paper towels, your cleaning can be limited to simply removing the dirty towels and replacing them periodically with towels from a new roll.
The easiest alternatives

Don't fancy using use yards and yards of paper kitchen towels? Well, there are several alternatives:
- One of the best alternatives is to use transparent plastic wrap. It sticks down easily, is very light and is less visible (even if it protrudes a little). However, it is also worth securing with scotch tape so the wind or draughts don't dislodge it;
- Similarly, we can make use of plastic wrap to protect the furniture when repainting a room. Simply cover the pieces you need to protect from paint drips (and spills!) with this versatile material;
- If, on the other hand, you prefer a more eco-friendly solution, then you can use scraps of fabrics you have laying around (and which can be washed after use). Old bed sheets, for example, are ideal for this! And again, use tape to secure the fabric pieces/sheets in place.
