Kleenex Ultra Soft Pop-Up Hand Towels vs Scott Professional Hard Roll Paper Towels

Buy the Kleenex Ultra Soft pop-up boxes for washrooms where guests judge the experience: the towels are softer, thicker-feeling and dispense one at a time from a sealed countertop box. Buy the Scott hard rolls for high-traffic washrooms and break rooms where capacity and low maintenance matter more than softness. Reviewers rate both well, with Kleenex slightly ahead on comfort and Scott on value per use. Neither is a heavy-duty cleaning towel.

  • Choose the Kleenex Ultra Soft if you want a hygienic countertop pop-up box and a softer towel for guest-facing washrooms, offices or lodging.
  • Choose the Scott hard roll if you run a busy washroom with a universal roll dispenser and want long runs between refills and recycled fiber.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a customer-facing washroom?
Kleenex Ultra Soft. The pop-up box looks neater on a counter, keeps towels dry and gives guests a softer sheet. Scott hard rolls suit back-of-house washrooms better.
Which lasts longer between refills?
Scott. A 1,000 ft roll runs far longer than a 70-sheet box, so it needs fewer refills in high-traffic washrooms.
Is the Kleenex worth stepping up to over Scott?
If guest experience and hygiene drive the choice, yes. If you mainly want low maintenance and recycled fiber, Scott does the job.
Do the Scott rolls fit standard dispensers?
They fit Kimberly-Clark Professional dispensers and many universal roll dispensers with a 1.5-inch core. Check your dispenser's core size before ordering.
Are either of these good for cleaning spills?
Both are hand-drying towels. Kleenex is soft and absorbent for hands; Scott is a general-purpose drying towel. For heavy cleaning, use a dedicated wipe.
Which is softer?
Kleenex Ultra Soft. It uses virgin fibers and is built for comfort; Scott's recycled sheet feels firmer.
