TP is a bit unexpected. The local store got bamboo paper towels which supposedly can be washed and reused multiple times. That advantage would still be there even after pandemic. Probably they can always pivot from TP to towels.
Wrt. the original article - cool, the [cold] stone grounded flour is better then the industrial fast (and importantly - hot) crush which thus affects the floor's carbohydrates state (and resulting yeast action, etc.).
- renewiltord 7y agoYou're supposed to wipe your butt with these and then wash the dirty cloth? Why on Earth would I do that? Am I supposed to be saving money with this or something?
- fiblye 7y agoPaper towels aren’t for your butt. They’re for wiping up things in the kitchen, your floor, dust, etc.
- renewiltord 7y agoOh paper towels! Not toilet paper. Oops, my mistake! I guess I had that on my mind. Yeah, I've actually owned some of those wash and use paper towels. They're pretty decent.
- arcticbull 7y agoMistake... or new startup idea! Re-usable bamboo toilet paper.
- btgeekboy 7y agoCloth diapers are a thing, too.
- eisa01 7y agoThat doesn't immediately sound good. E.g., baby wipes thrown in the toilet will clog the sewage pumps and break them. If bamboo toilet paper works the same way, you'll have a big issue!
- 7952 7y agoI wonder what these bamboo paper products are actually made of. Because bamboo fabric is actually rayon and may not be great for the environment. A better comparison would be with normal washable cloths.
- bb611 7y agoBamboo fabrics can be made that are not rayon, but they are significantly more time and energy consuming and thus far more expensive. Marketing rayon as bamboo in the US is a labeling violation enforced by the FTC.
