With today’s busy schedules, paper towels have become more of a necessity than a luxury.  As much as we all want to go green, who wants to spend hours washing dirty washcloths and kitchen linens every week?  Also, when you do laundry each week you are using a lot of water and electricity, so either way, you’re not really helping the environment.  Plus, you have to find a drawer or linen closet to store all of those extra kitchen washcloths and towels.  So, at the end of the day paper towels are convenient, and can even be an attractive addition to your countertop, when you select a decorative paper towel holder. The typical paper towel holder is an upright stand allowing quick and easy one handed tearing.  At Home Storage Warehouse, there is a wide assortment of metal paper towel organizers including bronze, black, & silver.

If you have counter space issues, then consider an over the door paper towel holder.  Here are two to consider from Home Storage Warehouse.
