Hello there! I’m Marlene

As a new mom, I found myself searching for quality products for my home that were reusable and made life easier. Every cup my daughter dropped or meal she ate I was ripping off more and more paper towels. I knew that using multiple rolls a month was not sustainable. I tried several other reusable options on the market but they either fell apart in my hands, had that old sponge odor, or just couldn’t stand up to everyday messes. I became determined to find a solution and, soon, the Prickly Pear reusable paper towel was born!

I never thought more about the future until I had my daughter. This is why I created an eco-friendly product that uses all natural materials, like cellulose and cotton, and is safe for your family, your pets, and our planet. Our washable paper towels are designed with bright and fun patterns that I hope spark joy because cleaning up life’s messes shouldn’t have to be a chore.

Thank you for supporting Prickly Pear Essentials and our mission in creating a more sustainable future.
