I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis so I'm always dropping cups & glasses so kitchen towels are always a lifesaver for me

My dozy brother who I live with knocked over a jar of garlic in white wine vinegar a few days ago and the lid popped off and went everywhere. Thankfully the kitchen towels soaked up the vinegar and then I scooped up the garlic into the bin. Still had to get down and clean it with soap and water to stop the kitchen stinking of garlic though!

I love kitchen roll especially for cleaning windows and glass furniture as it leaves no fibres, it was my life saver when our dogs were in the middle of toilet training as kitchen roll was great to clean up any accidents!

I know many times when spilt milk on the table or floor kitchen roll has come in very handy

We are potty training. Kitchen roll invaluable!!!

I fold a few sheets up and lay it on the bathroom floor underneath the toilet cistern to catch the condensation drops during the cold winter. It stops a puddle forming and getting any mold issues and can be changed quickly and easily.

All of the time, my husband can't make a cuppa without a spillage :P

My son of 29 has returned home after travelling for six months......but so have the spillages we knew when he was very young! Kitchen roll is always to hand whenever he eats with us.

My daughter vomited all over herself on Tuesday, all over the floor and the living room rug (needed to bin that!) I was mopping up the sick with kitchen roll and she calmly sat and ate more of her cottage pie (which she then vomited all over my trouser leg!)

When we were toilet training our labrador! Overall he was really good but we still had a few accidents and wherever we went anywhere for the first few months including friends houses or public transport, i'd carry a wad of kitchen roll with me...just incase!

I would not be without my kitchen towels!! I actually have a roll in kitchen and in the living room - I use them for napkins and initial cleaning up of anything!

When I dropped a full bottle of Ribina. That was fun to clean up

Used Regina kitchen roll to clean up toddler poo on the kitchen floor this morning- nice ad thick! (the towel that is)

Kitchen tower are literally a life saver ! I work at a wildlife hospital and we use so much of it in the orphaned animal season, especially baby birds. These always sleep snuggled on a kitchen tower nest as it keeps them warm and dry :)

My husband is a very enthusiastic cook and also very messy!! Kitchen towels are invaluable to mop up the kitchen floor and worktops around him.

When the dishwasher leaked (because a mouse had bitten through the outlet hose!)

Whenever I chop fruit / veg to soak up the water from them

When my cat throw up hairballs all over the kitchen floor with bits of cat sick. I was lucky to have some kitchen roll to hand to clear up the mess

They are brilliant for cleaning the oil off baking trays and frying pans before washing up. I also like to sprinkle them with tea tree oil and pop them inside whiffy trainers overnight!

The incident that springs to mind us when dd1 pulled a bottle of wine onto the tiles floor... The kitchen roll was the first thing I grabbed to clean it up.

A St. Bernard puppy in the house = big dog complete with slobber apart from the usual puppy little problems, so towels are a life saver!

Lifesavers, especially when we have our two youngest 6 and 7 year old Grandsons staying with us during holidays. No matter how many times they are told not to squeeze their fruit juices they do and shoot sticky sugary liquid all over the kitchen floor. Paper towels are great for such accidents.

I've found Thirst Pockets to be a life saver on many occasions.

Cleaning surplus mud off carpet when our little dog has just charged in with messy paws! They're great for placing on a plate, and draining fat or oil from roasties, mushrooms, etc before serving.

Also a real life saver for cleaning messy floors. If you dampen them a little, Thirst Pockets are strong enough to give a quick clean to bathroom floors and tiles.

My son gets travel sickness and (not connected) regular nose bleeds! So I always have a roll in my car plus a pile in my handbag as they are much better then tissues when dealing with either of these things!

Allways have them handy in surgery-great swabs.
