Q: What is the advantage of using a Bounty® paper towel rather than a sponge to avoid the spread of germs in my home?
A: Germs thrive in warm, wet environments, so the tools used to clean around the home, such as sponges, dishcloths, and cleaning rags, also may be breeding grounds for germs. In just one day’s use, more than one billion germs can grow in a damp sponge. Bounty thoroughly cleans, and then you throw the whole towel away, removing the potential breeding ground for germs. This helps avoid the spread of germs around your home.



Q: Are Bounty paper towels made from recycled material?
A: No. Bounty paper towels are made from virgin wood pulp.



Q: Is Bounty paper biodegradable?
A: Bounty is made of more than 97% cellulose, which is biodegradable. In the presence of oxygen and moisture, the cellulose fibres can be broken down by micro-organisms. Therefore, the kitchen towel is completely biodegraded in a compost stream.



Q: Can Bounty be used with food?
A: Yes, Bounty can be used with food. However, we recommend the use of the un-printed side of the sheet for the Bounty Fun Prints and Border Designs variants.



Q: Can my husband or children use Bounty as a hanky? Is it safe?
A: It is entirely safe to use Bounty as a hanky, although it is not its main purpose. We would recommend you use a regular hanky, Tempo for example.



Q: Do Bounty towels contain any egg or nut derivatives?
A: There is no egg or nut derivate in Bounty kitchen towels.



Q: Why can’t I find my favourite Bounty towel?
A: We offer lots of choices in Bounty towels because consumer preferences vary. Stores choose which versions they want to carry, so you might want to mention your interest to the store manager. Keep in mind that our printed towels are packed in mixed cases and retailers are not able to order a case of one particular pattern. It’s also possible the one you like is temporarily sold out or is only available during a particular season.



Q: What types of towel designs are available from Bounty?
A: Bounty offers white product and Fun Prints and some Winter and Spring prints (only under promotion). See Bounty Border Designs prints that complement your style.
