Advantages: Lasts well, soaks up loads

Disadvantages: Can be expensive

I do not want to repeat what has previously been written about these, but Bounty kitchen paper or towels are really very very good. We always buy these, until recently when we tried to economise and bought Sainsbury's own brand. The difference was amazing...

In comparison, the Sainsbury's ones soaked up a lot, but after a few wipes, they start to break up. So nothing saved there.

Then we tried Wilkinsons, which were a lot cheaper. Again, they soak up a fair bit, but if you scrub a little, they go all soggy and break into tiny pieces.

Just this week, both Sainsbury's and Tescos started selling the Bounty twin packs for just 99p. They are decorated in leaves, like a special edition print. So so happy that we could go back to Bounty. They wipe up hot or cold and do not smear. You can keep wiping back and forth and the towels stay in one piece, so you don't end up making more mess or getting it on your hands. I also use them when cleaning our large mirror. A spray or three of glass cleaner, one sheet of bounty to wipe the cleaner all over, and just one sheet to polish is enough.

In conclusion, buying cheaper brands might save a few pence, but in the long run you really do get what you pay for. You can use less Bounty to do the same job, so the savings disappear.

Summary: If you want a clean up towel that does not disintegrate, buy Bounty
