A few days ago I was able to attend an event for Viva® Vantage® paper towels. We got to try out and learn just how versatile this product really is with it’s Stretchy-Strength. Did you know it won 2015 Product of the Year?
Today I wanted to share some kitchen switch up tips you can try with these great paper towels.
Remember those delicious Portabella Patty Melts I made this summer? Well, I discovered an easy way to clean those delicate mushroom tops — with paper towels! You just use a dry paper towel and it easily rubs off the dirt.
Can you believe the dirt? The revolutionary V-Flex™ Weave makes Viva® Vantage® perfect for the task because it stretches to scrub those mushrooms clean. Now you don’t have to worry about damaging the mushrooms as you clean them. It takes scrubbing to a whole new level!
Another great way to use Viva® Vantage® is to get it a little wet and place it under your cutting board or mat. The V-Flex™ Weave keeps the cutting board in place so it doesn’t move around.
One of the fastest ways that veggies go bad is when they stay wet after washing. But, if you just add a Viva® Vantage® to the bottom of the container or wrapped around the veggies in a zipper bag, it has sponge-like absorbency and keeps your veggies fresh dry!
When I learned about chilling a bottle of wine with a paper towel, I thought it was just genius! You just get a Viva® towel wet, wring it out just a bit, and then wrap it around the bottle of wine and put it in the fridge for 20 minutes. Voila! You have a perfectly chilled bottle of wine!
Now I’m not a wine drinker, but I did this with water bottles and with alcoholic cider, and it worked great!
Viva® Vantage® stretches to scrub everyday messes, so they are perfect to create your own cleaning wipes! To create your own, just use a serrated knife and cut the roll of paper towels in half and remove the cardboard tube. Place them in a container. Then, mix up your solution and pour it into the paper towels. Put the lid on the container and let the paper towels jut soak up the solution.
I totally forgot to snap a pic of the recipe for the wipes, but this is a favorite one of mine that works well:
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
- 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap
Here’s a video with a few more ideas you can switch up!

LOVE the wipes recipe! I use vinegar to clean a ton of things around my house, too!
FAB uses for Viva paper towels in the kitchen. We buy this brand regularly for clean up. Thanks for sharing. Sarah in Minneapolis
I seriously cannot believe the kind of dirt that it got off the mushroom. Now I wonder how much dirt I’ve been eating all of my life!
These paper towels sound amazing and I love the great ways you are using them. We have two small boys so there are always lots of reasons to use paper towels in our home. We will have to purchase some of these next time we are in the store.
I would never have thought of using it as a bottle chiller, or a way to keep a cutting board from moving. Great tips!
That’s great that you can create wipes wth them! I love that idea! So interesting that they don’t break apart like other paper towels.
You know, I just recently found out that you are not supposed to wash mushrooms. Who knew?! That just seems crazy to me, haha!!! I love, love love the wipes idea!
I never knew a paper towel could do so much – and that trick about chilling beverages is a geat one. I’m gonna try that one.
These are great tips! I didn’t know the paper towel trick for chilling wine either!
I never thought to use paper towels these ways–and I most certainly going to pick up a roll of Viva Vantage to try one or two of them out. I especially like the one about cleaning mushrooms!
I’ve never made my own wipes but I’d love to as I’d know what was in them. I’ll have to try the 7-Day Switch Up after redeeming my coupon (thanks for the savings).
I had no idea you could use Viva paper towels so many ways. I know that you can use the un-textured ones to make buttercream icing as smooth as fondant.
It’s funny how many people do not know how to clean a mushroom properly. That sure sounds like it was a great event.
I am going to start using paper towels to really clean my fruit and veggies. That level of dirt freaked me out!
These are great ideas. I like to my my own baby wipes for the kids, and I always use Viva. Those are the only ones that don’t crumble apart when I make them.
Wow! I didn’t realize all that could be done with paper towels! How awesome.
I love the fact that paper towels are so versatile. My favorite paper towel trick is removing the skin from chicken! It has been a life foodsaver 😀 I think I will start cleaning my potatoes with them now too!
wow! most of these tips i would have never thought of. ESP cleaning the mushrooms bc that is always a project for me LOL. I am a huge wine drinker so that tip was great thank you!
These are awesome paper towels. We use them all the time! We do make our own wipes and have them on hand. I didn’t know they could be used for some many ways as well. Great party!
Really great tips! Paper towels are really handy to have in the kitchen! I use them for cleaning spills and stains! They are just awesome! Thanks for sharing!
