Which is better for greasy pots and pans?

The 3-ply Tear-A-Square. Its extra ply and high absorbency handle grease and scrubbing without tearing. The 2-ply is fine for light wipe-downs.

Which lasts longer, 6 rolls of 3-ply or 8 rolls of 2-ply?

It depends on use. The 3-ply often needs one sheet per spill, while the 2-ply pack has two more rolls but thinner sheets. Heavy messes favor the 3-ply.

Is the 3-ply worth the extra cost?

For kitchens, pets and bathrooms, yes. It is $10.58 at JustFurUs.com as of November 5, 2026, and has sold as low as $5.00 since November 3. For light wiping only, the 2-ply saves money.

Do both have the quarter, half and full sheet option?

Yes. Both are Tear-A-Square rolls with perforations for quarter, half and full sheets.

Which is better for bathrooms and soap scum?
