Napkins have their special place and purpose on your tables or desks, depending on for what purpose are you using it for, they're surely necessary. These small pieces of clothes surely tick both the boxes of decorative elements plus they're highly functional pieces, one can't compromise on. Although, we've several options available in the market to achieve this task, which includes cotton cloth napkins, paper napkins, regular tissues and in some cases thin papers to clean hands or to wipe the desk. These cloth serviette usually comes in a square or rectangle cutting, residing on our table for cleaning purposes. We see them placed, usually folded or rolled in a napkin ring, sometimes in intricate designs, prints and colors to elevate the look of the table.

Let's find out why we should always prefer to place cloth napkins on our tables and desks instead of the disposable options:

1- Kids Can't Tear Them at All :

 

Kids are the naughtiest members of the family who are always involved in some kind of mischief, tearing or breaking things often. same is the case, if you've had an eating experience with your children on the table, you've seen them pulling the tissues from the box, wasting them badly, ruining them completely. Moreover, having one single meal with the kids and you'll notice a heap of paper napkins under the table, either used or wasted. but what if you had a cotton cloth napkin with you, which is highly absorbent, durable and soft when used on the face of the kids. You don't need to use them a lot, saving your money big time.

2-  They Add a Decorative Element to the Table :

 

One thing we can't deny is that things that look appealing score more points than an ordinary one, the same is in the case of cloth napkins, as these napkins finish the table look and add more decorative elements, elevating the entire thing nicely. We process with our eyes, especially while eating or wearing. Whether these napkins are used for lunches at school or work, meals at home or in offices, a cotton cloth napkin feels high class, with several advantages pinned up with it. A table will look even better, if your cotton cloth napkins match with cotton cloth runners placed on the table, matching with its designs and colors.

3- Sustainable Choices are Better for Our Planet :

 

Cotton cloth napkin is a sustainable product as it'll decompose easily whereas when you choose to use paper napkins, though made from natural material and is biodegradable but to produce these paper stuff, we need tons of wood from trees, water and other resources like fuel to make these disposable napkins. So to save all these resources plus reduce landfill waste, we need to completely switch to cloth napkins made from natural materials. This change can literally help you save your planet- EARTH! Even the cost, when estimated over the years, is greater than paper napkins and cloth napkins are inexpensive.

4- They are Durable Pieces :

 

Clothes are durable pieces which are known for their permanence and longevity especially when you choose cloth napkins over other disposable alternates. Imagine a cotton t-shirt still in use, residing in your closet for years because it's still in good condition. The only reason for this is that it has durable material which doesn't tear or fade so soon. Although it seems that initially you're paying more for these napkins but you use them again and again, they stay with you for long, so it actually covers all the cost, sometimes beyond. A paper napkin, in comparison, tear or break down into pieces, and so can't be used again.

5- Cloth Napkins are Soft and Absorbent :

 

Cloth napkins when used in the office gives the feeling of softness when you use them to clear your face, mouth corners and hands after having a meal. Also to wipe any stains, water or tea/coffee, I quickly absorbed a cloth napkin with only one piece, while otherwise you may require a lot of tissues to absorb any kind of liquid.

When you use cloth napkins made from different fabrics like cotton, silk or linen, you can definitely feel the finesse of the fabric which you don't find usually in a regular paper napkin, even of finest quality. while a cloth napkin can be used several times, so the material used is of good quality. The feel of the fabric against your skin is way better and softer, even when used for the first time. However, with every wash cycle, the cloth napkins become smooth and fine.

  • Summing Up

Cloth napkins are a very useful item on our tables and desks which helps not only to give a finished look but also helps us cleans any spills, our mouth after eating and cleaning our hands and space. The above stated points will always keep you remembering to bring cloth napkins in every grocery, and avoiding disposable ones for all the good reasons.
