Kitchen paper is one of the most versatile and useful tools in your home. Although you usually use it for cleaning, you can use it in many other ways! Let’s look at some creative and practical uses of kitchen paper that you may not have thought of.

Drying vegetables and fruits
If you buy fresh fruits or vegetables and want to dry them quickly, paper towels are a great solution. Simply place them on a few sheets of kitchen paper and wipe them down to remove moisture. This is especially useful when you’ve returned from the market or if you’ve cooked fresh vegetables that need dry cleaning.

Absorbing Fatty Substances from Food
For fried foods or foods with a lot of fat, paper towels are your best ally. Place them on top of paper towels to absorb the extra oil and reduce the fat content. This makes the foods healthier and less heavy.

Keeping Fruit and Vegetables Fresh
You can place a layer of kitchen paper at the bottom of the refrigerator drawer to absorb moisture and keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer. The paper absorbs the moisture secreted by the fruit, reducing the risk of it spoiling faster.

Limiting Refrigerator Odours
Just a few sheets of kitchen paper inside your refrigerator can trap unpleasant odors from various foods. Place them in the refrigerator drawers or where you place foods that are not tightly packaged.

Cleaning of glass surfaces
Kitchen paper can be used to clean glass surfaces or mirrors without leaving any residue. Use it in combination with a liquid cleaner and you’ll have shiny mirrors and windows.

Gentle and Easy Kitchen Cleaning
Use a piece of kitchen paper to wipe down kitchen counters or clean the surfaces of the oven and fridge. Kitchen paper is ideal as it doesn’t scratch surfaces.
