Summer Splash! Marcel Small Steps Review & Giveaway
Little things can make a big difference when it comes to the environment. Marcel is a brand that understands that every little bit helps, and they have designed their newest paper products with this is mind. Marcel Small Steps paper goods are made with only 100% premium recycled paper. They are also eco-friendly products that are hypoallergenic, virtually lint free, and whitened without chlorine bleaching. By working together with the public, Marcel is hoping to achieve the goal of saving one million trees with their small steps program!
I received a few packages of Marcel Small Steps paper towels and toilet paper to review. I am always looking for green products to use in my home, but the problem is, many of them just don't hold up well. That is not true with these paper products. The paper towels are sturdy and clean up just about any kind of counter top mess. The toilet paper does not shred or leave behind any small pieces, and leaves you feeling nice and clean. They are definitely the kind of quality you would expect from a company like Marcel, with the added benefit of being a better choice for the environment.
If you are interested in trying out these wonderful green products for yourself, they are available in retailers nationwide. Check their store locator on their website to find a location near you. In addition to the paper towels and toilet paper, they also offer napkins and tissues made from recycled materials. For more thoughts on going green with Marcel Small Steps, be sure to check out Rita's review over at One2Try.
One lucky winner is going to receive a prize pack of paper towels and toilet paper just like the one I received to review. To enter, visit Marcel Small Steps and tell me something you learned.
