Sparkle paper towels are surprisingly strong. The texture is soft and has a waxy-like feel. Despite being thin, Sparkle's paper towels hold together well even when you give them a hard pull. On rough surfaces, it stood up well and only had one small tear on it after we ran it over carpet.

Their impressive absorbency and durability, coupled with their wallet-friendly pricing, make them a practical choice for everyday cleaning needs. Despite some minor drawbacks, the overall performance of Sparkle Paper Towels makes them a shining example of value-driven essentials.

Paper towels have become commonly used elements today, but their history dates to 1879 when Clarence and Irvin Scott – two brothers from Philadelphia founded their paper company. They began to manufacture tissue papers and 1000 sheets were part of a roll, which was sold for ten cents each.

Paper towels are made up of cellulose fibres, which also make up cotton, wood, and most other plants. They also contain small spaces that both liquid and air can pass through. Capillary action in the fibres draws in the water and the spaces between the fibres then help hold that water.
