Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and cover for maintaining hygiene of a roll of paper towels which are in a community or open area. A cover for protection of a paper towel roll secured about a vertical axis is provided. The cover is preferably circular to match the diameter of the roll. The cover has a cleanable top layer, a hole at the center of the cover and an optional bottom layer having a backing material.

The backing material present on the lower side of the cover adheres sufficiently to the paper towel roll to not slide off the roll when not in use. During use, the cover is held down by the user with one hand, while grabbing and removing a sheet from the roll with the user's other hand.
