local eco-friendly paper products
I am committed to supporting local business owners whenever possibe, so I have been purchasing my bed and breakfast's toilet tissue and paper towels from Rohlfing Supply in Brainerd. Never would I have dreamed that a roll of toilet tissue could excite me, but Rohlfing is now offering both toilet tissue and paper towels in an "EcoSoft" brand, which is made from 100% recycled paper products. Therefore, it is a double bonus. I am able to support the local economy and make an eco-friendly product choice.
Did you know that "Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day" products were developed in Minneapolis... our own backyard? Their line comes in such lovely fragrances... lemon verbena, geranium, lilac, basil, baby blossom, and limited-edition rhubarb. They are biodegradable, phosphate-free, and cruelty-free products made with essential oils.
As long as we're talking toilet tissue, this is what holds the rolls in the majority of our bed and breakfast's inn rooms and cabins... a tree branch. An exception is in the "cabin in the pines" where I used an old metal serving spoon with a long handle that the roll slips onto. I'd take a photo of it, but I have a guest residing in the cabin for six weeks. In that same cabin, I tied an apron around the front of the bathroom's pedistal sink. So cute! I can't wait for you to see it!
