If your kitchen is like most, you have a roll of paper towels hanging from a pretty dispenser. You may not realize that every time you use a paper towel and throw it in the trash, you are throwing money into the trash as well. Years ago we converted to dish rags / washcloths. Instead of using paper towels to clean up our everyday messes, we use washcloths to clean the table, countertops, kids faces, etc. My husband uses our washcloths to dust around the house and to clean the bathroom. (Yes, my husband does most of the cleaning... lucky me!)
You can buy a lot of washcloths in bulk at Walmart for about $10.
