Yup! That’s right! I want all my towels with muscle!
The word towel is defined in the dictionary as “a cloth for wiping and drying.” My hand towel is a full-sized bath towel. When you finish drying with one of those, there’s still more dry space on the other end of the towel just in case you come back in a few minutes and have to wash your hands again.
With a regular hand towel, the whole thing is wet with only one wipe! Besides that, it’s so small it won’t hang on the towel rack unless it’s just so. Now, after a shower I want a real towel. Bigger than life! Not quite a beach towel in size, but one you could use at the beach that would cover most of the spot of sand you choose to lay on. The main thing is that it sucks up wet like a first-class vacuum. And about two-thirds of the way through the drying process you do not discover that the whole towel is too wet to finish drying off!
Dish towels are just a cloth. But they do accomplish most of what you want done if you dry your dishes instead of bury them in an automatic dishwasher. I don’t use our automatic because it’s too much fuss: pre-washing in the sink, carefully stacking according to shape and size, then loading the various soaps and shine enhancers. You turn it on and forget it — but how can you forget it when it gurgles and shakes through all those noisy cycles?
Sometime later — maybe the next day — you pick the dishes out, wiping those with water still pooled in them, and at long last they’re stored in the cabinets. Unless you just leave them in the washer until it’s time to do another load. As far as I’m concerned, leaving them in the washer is a loose end — and I hate loose ends!
Back to towels — the paper ones that come in a roll. Super size! You hang the roll on a bracket on the wall or under a cabinet. I use them to dry my hands after cleaning up the kitchen. I use them to soak up greasy residue in a skillet or frying pan. I use them to wipe up spills, drips and wet around the sink and stove. After mopping the floor, any section still damp gets dried by paper towels. Paper towels are great for cleaning up my car inside and out — particularly windows, the dash and the control panel. Of course, to dry the body of the car I use old, worn out bath towels. The average sized sedan only takes two, maybe three.
I don’t know what women used to do long ago when cleaning up a baby without paper towels. One end or the other, a baby is always messing! The first thing I have handy when tending to a non-potty-trained grandchild is a towel — bath sized — and a fresh roll of paper towels. Throw in a clean, king-sized washcloth and you can probably escape with only a few accidents on the couch or carpet.
Without good, full-sized, heavy nap towels, the whole world would be just like what we’re seeing on the political front these days: all wet and unwiped!
