Whay makes paper towels soak things up?

The process is called capillary action.  The surface atoms of the liquid will interact with the surface atoms in a hollow space (such as a tube, or the small spaces between the fibers of a paper towel).  this will cause the liquid to pull itself up the tube, or along the fibers, as it keeps interacting with the next surface molecule.

Try stuffing loosely with wet newspaper and then soak in water overnight...let them dry out naturally - worth a try..

Great tip.  Also use the air dryer (if available) to save paper towels.

paper is pulpified wood that's dried into thin sheets.  Any liquids (grease, water, etc) will soak into the mix and separate the fibers, causing it to become transparent.  Except with water, it will ultimately evaporate out.  Grease doesn't evaporate away at room temperature like water does, so the transparency remains.

Sounds like you are talking about an anionic surfacant(a substance that allows things to get wet) There is a very popular material that does this it is called soap.

In my family, we each have our own towel that when done, we hang to dry for the next time that same person showers.  We don't share them between people but there's nothing wrong with using the same towel for a couple of times by the same person.  You're clean and just wiping off water.  Then when I do laundry, I'll grab those towels and wash them.  Do you use a new towel everytime you dry dishes?\n\nAdded note:  I get each person in the family a huge bath sheet to use as "their" towel and each person has a different color to tell them apart.  Then I have a bunch of regular bath towels that can be used if someone needs a extra towel (usually just me...I use one for my hair and one to dry off).  So, no co-mingling towels and it is easy to tell each person's apart.

Paper-is basically soaked in water and chemicals and turned back into Pulp and then returned into the marketplace as recycled paper.\n\nPlastic-can be melted down and reused, or cleaned and bottled.\n\nGym shoes-Nike, even though Phil Knight is Satan, has a program where they take old gym shoes and convert them into playgrounds and basketball courts for underdeveloped neighborhoods...how they do it? i don't know, but, I'm sure it has something to do with his evil powers.\n\nthink green...obama in 08!

Use a mild hand or dish soap. Just make sure you rinse them very well, to get rid of any soar residue. Also it is better to let them drip dry, if you use a towel you will end up with fuzzes all over them.
