"My mom started using it to quickly mop up the few drops of water that get on the floor after you wash your hands or load dishes into the dishwasher. Instead of using a new one every time, she just keeps one there, then uses her foot to mop up the excess water. She doesn't even need to bend down!"
"If you're anything like me, you might be ever-so-slightly rolling your eyes, but hear my mom out: "About 10 years ago when we had the kitchen redone, we had laminate floors put down," she says. "No one explained to me that they weren't waterproof, so when I found out that standing water on the floor could cause the boards to swell and buckle, that's when I began to mop up any drops of water immediately.""
Parents maintained a meticulously clean, staged-looking home with the mother handling most cleaning tasks. A single paper towel placed near the sink and dishwasher is used to mop small drops of water repeatedly. The towel is moved with a foot to avoid bending while quickly absorbing excess moisture. The practice began after installing laminate floors that are not waterproof. Immediate removal of standing water prevents laminate boards from swelling and buckling. The floor paper towel offers a convenient method to protect flooring while reducing the need to use a new towel each time.
