I saw a show [TLC? maybe],on *thrifty/cheapskate people*, and a woman was separating the plys of TP to make it go farther.
Another guy rinsed his paper towels off, and hung them to dry, to *reuse* them.

As a retired Paper Salesman this picture brings a tear to my eye, thanks.
There is no difference between TP and facial tissue from the same manufacture. I specify “same manufacture” because there are a lot of differences between manufactures.
We did not sell on the retail market and all our paper was made from 100% recycled stock. Manufactures such as KC or P&G are primarily retail and make their product with 100% Virgin stock.
One warning for those using “Kleenex” do not flush them down a toilet. They do not breakup. If Kleenex were around when Noah got caught in the flood it would still be in one piece.

If all a paper towel did was absorb some moisture and it is not soiled, it can be dried w/o rinsing and reused. If it was used to clean something like a mirror, it can be rinsed, dried and used later to wipe up a floor. I have done this forever.
FWIW, a woman who is in her 70s and still cleans houses for a living, shared that the cheaper towels are really more absorbent. Personally, I buy the Willow brand (8 rolls for $7) at Aldi’s. I think they are just fine and I have stored some. They also make TP 18 rolls for $6 that is acceptable.
It works as nasal tissue, too.
If something abrades the skin with repeated use, apply some lotion after use.
