Will It Wipe? Testing Grocery Bags... PAPER Grocery Bags.


Remember: WE are testing WIPING, not flushing.  DO NOT FLUSH THESE THINGS.  Throw them away in a trash can or trash bag.  If you have a pet, you will want to use a covered metal can in a cupboard.  If you have a toddler...best of luck.

AND: WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS.

And now for our 4th Contestant

Used Grocery Bags...the paper ones
DRO16B57 - Duro Tall Paper Grocery Bags - Kraft - Kraft Paper ...

PREP:
The usual rubbing around to bring the nap up and make it softer.  It helps if it's been used a few times so it's already softening up.  ALSO...you won't need an entire full size grocery sack for each "go" unless you are having some sort of intestinal drama.

SCRATCH FACTOR:  4/5
With proper prep, it's quite good really! I mean, it's not the lotion filled pillow like top of the line nonsense, but I haven't used that in so long I don't even REMEMBER it.

EASE OF USE:  4/5
Easy prep if you have slightly worn out bags around.  Ripping off the right amount is not a problem.

PAPER-CUT SAFETY:  4/5
Unless you leave the handles on or forget to soften up the top edge, it will be hard to do yourself any damage with this option.

ABSORBENCY:  4/5
 GO SLOW.  It IS absorbent, but it is not the "quicker picker upper".

 The strength factor is excellent.  There will be no surprise finger poke-through with paper grocery bags.

CLEANSING POWER:  5/5
Excellent!  I mean, I use them...DIFFERENT ONES...as scrubbers for cast iron pans so I knew they could take warm grease and crusties out, now I know more things they can take out.

AVAILABILITY:  4/5
Just say "paper please!" and there you are.

Bold Name of Tested Product COMPOSITE SCORE: 25/30

So, more suggestions please.
Or perhaps someone disagrees with my assessment?
