To use these paper napkins, simply unfold them and place one beside each plate at your gathering. There's no special way to use them, just grab and wipe! When it comes to maintenance, since they're paper napkins, they're disposable. After use, just throw them away. There are no harsh chemicals needed, so they're easy on the environment too. And because they're triple - ply, they're sturdy and less likely to tear while in use. Keep them in a dry place to prevent them from getting wet and losing their strength.
