blue paper towels!

[Woody123]

ive been looking at getting some cheap paper towels when rubbing off the haze on grout. Had a look on screwfix and they are £20!! i know you get 6 rolls but does anyone know where to get them any cheaper or just in a single pack or is this the normal price?

I pay £2.61 + VAT for white rolls I buy them in packs of 6. I would not buy blue sometimes the cheaper stuff can run the colour. Most large janitorial suppliers stock them.

Best thing i've found for buffing tiles is course cotton dustsheets, buy a dustsheet and cut it into smaller squares and bobs your uncle.

Old baby nappies are very good apparently.

Or used.....:lol:........

I use blue or white rolls what ever i can buy at the time........

 

[grumpygrouter]

I knew I should have said terry nappies........and washed!

Generally find though if the washboy is used properly there is very little bloom to have to polish off!

be careful with some of the cheaper blue rolls, they can be like toilet paper and just break up when they get wet, if you can check them before buying...mark.
