About Plenty

Christmas is a magical time, whether your kids are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Father Christmas, or a wider circle of family and friends are arriving for the annual gathering.

The trouble is it’s often not much of a holiday for you.

In fact, it’s three times the mess, with your carpet being patterned with sticky drinks spills, chocolatey fingerprints appearing on every surface, and a kitchen that looks like a disaster zone after you’ve finally prepared Christmas dinner for 12. Fortunately, there’s one super-absorbent paper towel that’s up to the job. Just one sheet of Plenty is so absorbent and strong when wet that you can mop up, wring-out, and then re-use it.

It does more, so you use less. Find out more at the website below where you can also have the chance to win prizes every day in the run-up to Christmas.
