So, if you know me at all, you might know I am a bit of a germaphobe. Ok, a big germaphobe. I hate germs, dirt, yuck in general. When Bounty announced the ‘Ditch & Switch’ Challenge to help prove that using Bounty DuraTowel can help cut down on spreading germs in the home, I was in.
What is the Ditch & Switch challenge? Here is the scoop, I had to wipe down my counter for 3 days with a dish cloth without washing it. {I have to be honest, I would never make it 3 days without washing it, I use it for a half day and to the wash it goes} However, I know most people don’t wash theirs for 3-4 days or even a week.
So, I had to clean the counters for three days and send it off to a lab. So are you curious what the lab shows most dish cloths? Be prepared to be grossed out.
Ok, so the standard of clean, is 300 RLUs. A tv remote is disgusting at over 5,000. A hotel comforter is a skin crawling 8,000. So what does that lab say about the average dish cloth? 18,000. Yes, 18,000. I am not sure I want to cry or get a shower. So gross.
So the real question is, would you wipe your counters down with a hotel comforter? Ah, ya might be better off using that than your dish cloth!
I know it is not feasible for everyone to wash 2-3 dish towels a day, so here is a great alternative. Bounty has introduced DuraTowel, the paper towel that offers everything you love about a dishcloths, without the millions of germs, for a cleaner way to clean. It has been clinically proven to leave surfaces up to 3X cleaner than a germy dishcloth. It is plenty durable and holds up well when you use it.
Some of you may not use paper towels on a regular basis, but this is a great option when you or a family member is sick! You can find a coupon for $1.00 off on the Bounty site to give the DuraTowels a try. Now, go clean up your counters folks!
Bounty exposed my dirty dishcloth and showed me the cleaner way to clean with Bounty DuraTowel, the only cloth-like, durable paper towel that is clinically proven to leave surfaces three times cleaner than a germy dishcloth.* Find out more here!

Just throw your damp/wet washcloth into the microwave for 30 seconds to kill germs. Quick. Easy. And 1 less product you just gotta have, store, worry about running out…
