Make a Small Step: Use Recycled Products

Over on our Green Living Community we have been having our Great Green Giveaway*a*Day Event on the message boards.  Today a very special company is being featured and I wanted to take a moment to discuss them more in depth as I have reviewed their products for you.

I recently purchased a pack of Marcal Small Steps 2-ply toilet tissue and fell in love.  I have been use to traditional toilet tissues and not only do I find this very comparable in feel, but I find it is better when it comes to lint.  I was excited to know more about their products so that I could share with you, so I contacted them!

Marcal Small Steps is a wonderful company that has been saving trees since 1950.  They offer paper towels, napkins, toilet tissue, & facial tissue for the home and beyond.  Their paper products are hypoallergenic, virtually lint free, and whitened without chlorine bleaching.

When my package arrived from Marcal, I was giddy!  I waited for my husband to get home and then set about changing all of my paper products over to Small Steps to begin testing right away.

To be honest, I was a little unsure of the toilet tissue that I received as it was 1-ply and not the 2-ply that I had purchased at the store.  I love that it's recycled and now that I've been using it for a couple of weeks, I am use to it.  However, I still like the 2-ply more.  I feel like I use just as much, if not more of the 1-ply to try to equal the 2-ply's effectiveness.  It's still great though and if the 2-ply weren't available, I would buy the 1-ply.

The paper towels are great too.  I love the hearts on them and the size of the sheets.  They are smaller than a standard sheet, yet larger than most sizable sheets.  I find that with their sizing I am able to use less paper towels over all, and I love that.

I love their facial tissues and napkins too.  Both are plenty soft and do the job.  I even find that the tissues are still gentle enough when damp to remove my eye makeup.

I encourage you to choose recycled too!
