For many years now, the paper towel has established itself as an essential everyday object. Even if it is ultra-practical, it still has some limits.
What if the paper towel… didn’t wipe everything. Well, it is a reality. Known to be effective on multiple surfaces, However, the Sopalin has some weaknesses. The reason ? Depending on the circumstances and the material to be cleaned, he may be completely helpless. This is particularly the case with glass. Whether for glasses or a coffee table, the paper towel will leave many white particles. To fix this, it is best to use a specialized cloth to make the surface as clean as possible. Regarding the windows, it can also be interesting to dilute white vinegar in hot water and apply it, before cleaning with a microfiber cloth.
In the same register, the Sopalin is completely ineffective on screens and mirrors. Yes, once again, the fragility of the Sopalin makes the task counterproductive. Result: the surface to be cleaned will be strewn with white particles. It is therefore much more interesting to bring your new best friend, a microfiber cloth, to clean the surfaces concerned.
A sponge or a toothbrush to replace the paper towel?
For other surfaces, less fragile than glass, the paper towel can also show its limits. For example on the toilet. Indeed, in this case, Sopalin is limited by its inability to eliminate microbes. It is therefore preferable to opt for a specific product, a toilet brush and a sponge for the bezel. Same for tile joints. Since it is a relatively solid surface, which can crumble the paper towel, it is more advisable to bring a toothbrush specifically dedicated to this task to restore their whiteness. Finally, the Sopalin is just as powerless when it comes to clean car interior. Here, it is advisable to wash the different surfaces with a microfiber cloth or a toothbrush with soft bristles to reach the tightest places.
