I've been known to carry a small bottle of Dr Bronner's for this reason. Also, the bleaching agents in a lot of commercial paper towels also chew up my hands. I'll carry a few handkerchiefs in the winter too.
- cma 4y ago> Also, the bleaching agents in a lot of commercial paper towels also chew up my hands. Are you saying if you wet a commercial paper towel with plain water and drop it on some cloth it will bleach the fabric? Why would the bleaching agents still be active any more than with printer paper or toilet paper? Wouldn't these be a hazard if someone wiped ammonia with them?
- crazygringo 4y agoYeah I'm confused about that too. Not to mention most commercial paper towels are the brown unbleached kind. Meanwhile toilet paper I've never seen unbleached... But there is something I've also always found very mildly irritating specifically about unbleached brown paper towels, as well as uncoated corrugated cardboard. Just kind of like a micro-scratchiness.
