Serious Tissues (made in the Midlands with cereal boxes!)
Serious Tissues offers quality paper tissues as nice on your nose as premium brands, but these are made from 100% recycled paper, in plastic-free packaging. Free from dyes or scents, they are also made in the Midlands to provide jobs for local people.
Made from old cereal boxes and newspaper, each delivery includes 6 packs of 72 tissues, in thick 3-ply size. The tissues are naturally off-white, using a non-chlorine bleaching agent to remove colour from recycled magazines.
Don’t flush disposable tissues down the loo, as they clog drains and cause garden floods (won’t make you popular with neighbours).
How to safely blow your nose
Apparently most of us don’t blow our hooters properly. This not only makes it more uncomfortable if you have a cold – but can rupture blood vessels and even force air into the middle ear. Next time you have the sniffles:
- Place one finger against your nostril, and apply pressure.
- Take a breath, then gently blow the other nostril into a tissue.
- Do the same on the other side.
- Wash your hands, to avoid passing germs onto others.
