Best Paper Towels

In the battle of the paper towels, some rolls scrub it down and drink it up better than others

Best Paper Towels

Softest: Kleenex Viva
About $1.40 a roll (or $1 a roll for warehouse-club 12- or 24-packs), 55 sheets a roll.

Pros:
  • Not surprisingly, the tissue giant makes paper towels soft enough for runny noses.

  • The softness belies their strength — Viva towels were close runners-up in the grape test. Each towel held 106 grapes.


  • Cons:
  • The soft and fuzzy sheets leave behind lint when used to clean glass and mirrors.

  • With only 55 sheets, a roll doesn't last very long.
