Testing Reusable Kitchen Products!

[@nicollevandyke5950]

😂Oh Please, my sides can’t take this😂……. Rachel, they don’t roll back up, you just re-use them. Oh dear lord, that was hilarious.

[@IrbyOCD]

Sad part is she’s serious. What is she on crack?even microfiber towels wear out and should be disposed of this just ensures you don’t keep a drawer full of souring wash cloths

[@imjuliewaters]

Actually you can reroll them, it just takes time. You lay them end to end, but with each overlapping the next by a bit, then you roll them up by hand until they are back in a full roll. I haven't done it myself, but I have seen a TikTok of someone doing it.

[@nicollevandyke5950]

@@imjuliewaters that sounds hilarious as well

[@ktotheramer]

ReUSE. NOT reROLL. I Am I the only one thinking she’s the only person who thought they could roll back up? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LindzTheLooneyOfLondon]

Just watching and I’m with you it’s a re use product and then when they are done get a new one off the roll, personally I love the bamboo ones she recommended yonks ago, I’m still on my first roll and given how expensive paper ones are now it’s a win win ❤😢

[@katienabors3825]

You can layer the "paper towels " a specific way and place them in a tissue box

[@skichickadeexoxo]

I use the Marley's Monsters Unpaper towels that I believe are cotton, and have a roll that you just slightly overlap the towels end to end as you roll them onto the roll and the towels will naturally stick/cling to each other so they don't fall apart/off the roll and can be used like paper towels. I love them and use them alongside regular paper towels depending on the need!

the thing you said about pasta sauce staining! ive heard a hack that if you put a bit of water and dish soap and add a paper towel to the stained Tupperware, close it and shake it its meant to get rid of the stains!!

[@rachelballinger]

TRYING THIS

[@Pugly2003]

It works it’s my favorite hack ever. Only use a little water and a little soap but get the paper towel damp before hand.

[@deeviousritchey9736]

It works best if you add a couple of drops of oil... I'm not sure why, but it does

[@nicollevandyke5950]

@@KatieB-pd3tf This 100% works, best results with Dawn dish soap. Also, when buying dish soap, make sure it says “dish soap and not anti-bacterial soap. Some companies cut corners on the ingredients that cut oils and plunk them in the dish soap aisle. Dawn even does it with some other fragrances of their own line.

[@leafs4brains]

you can reroll them!! Its just not side-stitch. The way you do is by slightly overlapping the edges and rolling it onto a tube. It takes some practice to get them to roll up pretty but you can roll it if you overlap! I dont have the microfiber ones but i use reusable napkins and roll them on an old tube :)

[@TCat13]

Love it!!! I love your product testing videos, Rachel. And reusable items are always a great theme. Aside from seeing the doggos (and catto), these are my faves among your videos 😁👍💜 And I agree 100% about NOT reusing anything that picked up cat vom! 😝

[@laurawithnou]

They do make real cotton fabric "paper towels" with little snaps on them so that you can use, wash, REROLL, and reuse btw! I've seen tp ones too but i draw the line at reusable tp 🤮🤮

[@KaydonDemster]

Stevie is so much more friendly than she was when you first got her! Yay!

[@Moonchldxx]

It's the fabric type. Some fabrics actually "stick" to the same fabric. Like flannel, flannel sticks to flannel with no glue or tape. Some people who sew edges on fancy fabric use flannel so it sticks slightly when you overlap the pieces to reroll them on the tube

[@Skyy818]

• The freakn Paper rolls 🤣☠️ i know some already said it but it was funny. She legit thought they rolled back up But forgot to even use them. Mini brain fart moment lol it’s okay shiiet happens we all have this moments. I’m mexican & to me it makes sense with the reuse. We learn or tend to save a towel we just used to clean water to wipe the counter or stuff before tossing it away. For example she spilled la croux coulda used one 😅 then rinse it ready for the next use. Maybe you spill coffee, soda, juice & you rinse it & re use it to get more or next time.

[@prbd0985]

You can reload reusable paper towels on a roll I watched a KZbin video where they showed you have to lay the whole towels on top of each other & roll from the top to the bottom each one separately if this doesn't help watch a video You can get bags that stand up they have bottom like the microwave meal pouches good for freezer

I started buying reuseable bags at walmart. I love them.

[@ceekay3143]

Rachel babe, reusable BUT not going back together in a roll lol. I'm using a roll of those chux cloth things, instead of sponges. Tear one off, use it to wipe down things etc, rinse and reuse for a few times. They dry quicker than sponges (so don't get as stinky as quickly), but aren't as wasteful as using and discarding paper towel or wet wipes. No big deal if it gets stained or gross from wiping something grotty. I dunno, it works for me.

[@amywest982]

I hate that feeling too, I refuse to use microfiber cloths for anything

[@KatyWatson173]

I love the silicone bags I have the same set. I mostly use them for ice as our freezer doesn’t have an ice maker. I use a tabletop ice maker and it’s so easy to dump the ice into these bags. With the Hefty bags I spill ice all over the place but not with the silicone bags. 🙂🐈‍⬛🐈💖🌈

[@patriciagallant8133]

I stopped putting my mason jar lids in the dishwasher due to rusting. The water will sit in the lid which causes the rust. I now wash them by hand. The rust will come off with an SOS pad. Not sure how good the seal is on the plastic ones as far as long-term freshness.

Gorgeous Rachel I love you! Carbonation is CO2 infusion under pressure. Once the pressure leaves, the CO2 says, Party's over. You could put your cut banana and your open soda can in a bag. It will still go bad but it won't leak. Really a banana should be eaten as a whole.

Paper towels : REUSE not RESTICK

[@Gabriellama911]

I’ve been watching you for ages!

[@sheldonanddonna]

I am so with you on the reusable "paper towels". The beauty of a paper towel is that you use it, throw it away, and get a clean one next time. When you have to wash and store it, it becomes a towel. What's the point? Whatever benefits the earth gets from reusing them is offset by the water, electricity and detergent you use to wash them! They make NO SENSE!

[@sherriejeffords7443]

You are not alone!! I can’t stand the texture of microfiber!!

[@jessicagean7646]

You can roll them back up. You just have to layer them as you roll them.

[@deeviousritchey9736]

The silicone ring is removable so that it can be washed... otherwise you would end up with mold between the plastic and the seal...

[@nina_chillens]

I really dislike reusable baggies like those. I will almost always choose a container over a bag. The ONLY thing I use ziplocs for is freezing bagels, and I reuse those

[@angelinedoyle8177]

Would you test Feliway? It’s something to stop cats from peeing everywhere.

[@ashleycugno4608]

I think you need to overlap like an inch of the microfiber towels over one another when you roll them back up

[@coley0504]

There are towels that I see on etsy and stuff that stick together and roll back up.

[@korewolf_96]

If you really wanna be used, you have to overlap them in a way where they won’t fall apart just like how on Etsy they sell reasonable towels. It’s the same way they roll it up.

Also they shrunk when left in a hot car… that kinda surprised me. Like I get not microwave safe but it made me scared to even put hot food in them the same as I would normal ziploc bags

[@stephaniemhoover4741]

Maybe the intention of the towels on the roll, is to use one towel for 2-4 weeks, throw it away and move on to the next one?

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

I bought a box of microfiber udder towels 😅 they work very well but the feeling of them being dry 🤮 wet I'm okay. I've washed them on the boil cycle and they keep very well.

[@ECM24]

yeah. you can't reconnect the towels after you tear them off. that's why we tried them once, then never again. because they're pointless.

[@msjessica0588]

You only get tear away the first time then you can stagger roll them around the tube and put them back on. Also maybe I got bad reusable bags bc we have them but use them for anything but food bc it leaches the bag taste into the item

[@justinekingmaker493]

I'm dying over here. "re-usable" ≠ "re-roll-able" HILARIOUS! "Tear-away" = MARKETING GIMMICK! BTW: Metal Mason jar lids are two parts, the ring and the seal. The seal is only meant to be used ONCE. They are made of steal (steal rusts, aluminum does not). The Rings are meant to be re-used but honestly, not so much. If you're not actually doing water or pressure CANNING just use the plastic lids with silicone rings. They're totally fine for short-term and repeated use.
