What Are Sawim Reusable Paper Towels?
Paper towels are a household staple — but also a major source of daily waste. At Sawim, we offer a better way: Reusable Paper Towels made from brushed cotton. Each towel is carefully cut to size (10×12 or 10×14), stitched by skilled seamstresses, and hand-packed with care. Unlike disposable paper towels that go through heavy chemical processing, our cotton fabric is free from harsh additives, gentle on your skin, and designed to last. Washable, durable, and plastic-free, these towels eliminate paper waste without compromising on convenience.

How to Use and Care
Usage Instructions:
- Store: Wrap the towels around a paper towel holder — the brushed cotton naturally clings together — or fold and keep them in a basket.
- Use: Grab a sheet for spills, cleaning, or food prep, just like you would with disposable paper towels.
- Collect: After use, toss them in a laundry bag (many customers hang one in their kitchen for convenience).
- Wash: Machine wash in warm or cold water with your regular laundry. Avoid bleach or high heat drying.
- Reuse: Towels become softer and more absorbent with every wash, ready to serve again and again.
Care Tips:
- Wash in cold or warm water to maintain the brushed cotton’s integrity.
- Air dry when possible for longevity.
- Avoid fabric softeners — they can reduce absorbency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use them for greasy spills?
Yes. For very greasy messes, rinse in cold water before washing to protect absorbency.
Do they shrink?
We pre-wash our fabric before making your towels, so shrinkage is minimal.
How do I keep them absorbent?
Avoid fabric softeners or dryer sheets — they can coat the fibers. A vinegar rinse every so often can help restore absorbency.
How long do they last?
With proper care, up to a year or more. Many users find they last even longer.
Are they compostable?
Yes! At the end of life, cut them into small pieces and compost or recycle responsibly.
