'Welcome to the Kleenex Soft Touch Tissue Tree Swathed in hundreds of metres of luxurious silks, the tree is covered with blossoms that dispense the new Kleenex Soft Touch tissues. Exceptionally soft and silky, we invite you to feel the difference yourself by taking a Kleenex Silk Touch tissue from the low hanging blossoms. Kleenex Silk Touch Tissue. Softer, Smoother, Gentler. Feel the Difference. Kleenex'
