My kitchen, like any gets its fair share of spills – tea dripped over the side near the kettle, milk spilled when my daughters getting her cereal . So, I need something to mop these up before they set in and become hard to remove – kitchen roll!

Now, I'm a bit of a tightwad anyway- especially with things like this that are only going to get thrown away after a use , so I went for the Asda Smartprice brand at 83p for four rolls of kitchen towel .

Being so cheap, you can't expect them, or the packaging to be particularly luxurious – the packaging is plain in green and white, but it does contain useful information such as the details to moan to Asda if it fails to do it's job .

The squares of kitchen roll have perforations for easy tearing off the wall, and a rough dimpled texture . They are a slight off white in colour, and are made from recycled paper . The cardboard tubes in the middle are recyclable .

Used dry, these easily mop up tea and milk spills - and actually seem pretty absorbent , only needing one sheet to be used at a time . Used wet, these can mop up slightly more stubborn stains that have perhaps been left to sit for a while, although not as well as a good old fashioned dishcloth. When wet, I don't feel they are particularly strong – they won't withstand wringing, but they won't fall apart and leave shreds of tissue all over your kitchen worktops either .
And they are quite good for mopping grease off your hands after eating chips too .

Overall, they're decent value -nothing spectacular, nothing luxurious, and no pretty patterns on them . But they do the job I need them to do, and they don't cost the earth . 4 stars .
