Kleenex Hand Towels Review & Giveaway ENDED

by | Jul 6, 2010 | Giveaways | 132 comments

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy for more details.

Product Description: Kleenex Hand Towels are an innovative solution that delivers one clean, fresh, dry towel every time consumers wash and dry their hands in the home bathroom. The single-use, disposable bathroom hand towel provides consumers with a unique new product that addresses a growing awareness of hand hygiene as a means to help maintain their families’ health and wellness.

Product Price: Retail value is $2.99

My thoughts: I was very excited to give these a try in the bathroom my daughter’s use.  We were all sick a lot this spring so I wanted to find every way possible to cut down on the germs being passed back and forth.  I knew the hand towel wasn’t helping and was trying to change it every day but even that doesn’t guarantee anything.  That’s why when I was contacted by a Kleenex PR Representative offering to send me a couple of boxes to try out, I was very excited.

The minute the boxes arrived my 5 year old jumped up and down.  She had seen them on TV and was so excited to put the box in the bathroom.  She showed me how to fit it on the towel rack, just as she had seen.  We talked about using them each time they washed their hands and at the same time, if it was possible, I wanted them to wipe down the sink too before tossing them in the trash.  We also discussed how fast the trash basket was going to fill up so she was more than happy to take over the responsibility to empty it too.  It’s so cute when they get excited over little things like that.  (I still don’t understand why we buy so many toys for them when they’d rather do everyday things to have fun.)

They were a HUGE success and I’m happy to say they worked great.  All they needed was one hand towel each time they washed their hands.  They are nice and absorbent and don’t fall apart very easily.   I don’t plan on buying them all the time but when I do find a good deal on them AND when we are fighting colds and the such, I will be getting them.

    I like to try this in place of the old fashion towels

  5. debp on July 6, 2010 at 4:06 pm

    I like the idea of just using it once and throwing it away. I would like to put it in my son’s bathroom. Handtowels can harbor so many germs, I feel these are so much cleaner.

    I am tired of changing out the hand towels at least twice a week because they are so dirty (at least people are washing their hands, though)!

  12. Joan on July 6, 2010 at 4:32 pm

    Really would like to win cause paer hand towels would be a blessing on wash day! Looks like a winning product and so pretty and neat looking….thanks for the opportinity to enter…

  14. sherri on July 6, 2010 at 5:59 pm

    I would really like to try these. Keeping from spreading germs is always seems to be difficult in our house. I suffer from Crohn’s Disease, we are always cautious to keep me from catching anything. Thanks

  15. Sue Feely on July 6, 2010 at 6:08 pm

    I am really trying to train my family the importance of frequent hand washing; i’m certain these would help! What a great idea, the company is goning to make a ton on these, as many people are recongnizing the importance of hand washing!

  16. fran on July 6, 2010 at 6:13 pm

    I would like to give my sisters a box of these hand towels. Both their households seem to get at least 5-6 colds a year and I’m positive it’s because they never put out disposable hand towels when guests came over. Plus using this product may make them belivers of not sharing hand towels, even between household members. Hope they are the winners. Thanks for the opportunity.

  17. anna washburn on July 6, 2010 at 6:14 pm

    We dislike GERMS so bad at our house!! My grandson has seen these on tv also and we would both love to try them!!

  18. Karen R on July 6, 2010 at 7:07 pm

    Just today I cut my finger and it’s at the tip where it’s impossible to keep the band-aid stuck. The band-aid comes off when I wash my hand and I hate to use the same towel over and over.

  43. Paula Morgan on July 7, 2010 at 7:37 am

    have seen the commercial on TV. looks to be a really good idea. Gold star for the one who thought up the idea. my granddaughter spends a lot of time with me and is ALWAYS into hand painting, play dough, insect grabbing, etc. she sometimes forgets to wash up afterward, and has to be reminded. she loves new things and I believe these towels to be the godsend I have been looking for. I intend to buy anyway, but would love to have a freebie too. Thanks for having the giveaway.

  44. Kelly M on July 7, 2010 at 12:47 pm

    these look kind of neat – I would like to see if they are really worth the money!

    I would love to try these. I have a lot of people in and out of my home and it would be great to put in the bathroom. I have a homeschool group that meets in my home and that would be a great way to cut out some germ passing when washing hands. : )

    I think perhaps more people in my family would wash their hands more often if they had something fun and different like these towels!

    these look great – I think I would like them better than hand towels

  90. Betty on July 12, 2010 at 6:05 pm

    Communal handtowels were removed from public restrooms, while we still share a towel at home. This would especially be good during flu season or simply when you do have someone at home sick.
