And
Your Environmentally Sound Choices
Whether you have Allergies, “Tear over Sad Movies”, experienced the sinister seasonal Cold, or simply have company:
A Home should always
have Facial Tissue available for it’s occupants and guests!
For The Bachelors out there-
Toilet Paper is never an acceptable solution, unless you are camping! No one, I repeat, no one… other than YOU, wishes to place an item against his or her face when you’ve touched it on the toilet!
Toilet Paper usually comes in rolls or tiny squares, for your private toiletry uses.
Facial tissue is usually created softer or stronger, and specifically for facial use. Soon I will post an article discussing options for “Toiletry needs” which of course will define Natural Choices for toilet paper!
Firstly:
Facial Tissue or Handkerchief
In the U.S. the facial tissue market has been dominated by the Kleenex brand disposable handkerchief, and so dubbed “Kleenex”. Originally, paper products were not used. Instead, cloth squares or handkerchiefs were carried and eventually marketed in numerous colors, shapes, and patterns. After children sharing facial towels to blow noses were found to spread germs in large cities, a temporary solution to the germ distribution came into creation. Disposable, single use cloths for those who are ill, were to hit the U.S. markets and eventually most parts of the world.
1924: The Kleenex disposable facial tissue is released
1926: Kleenex is marketed to Canada
