Switching to reusable fabric cloths

–       

From single use paper towels to reusable cotton cloths

Another great way of creating less waste in your everyday life is going from using single use paper towels to using reusable cotton cloths.

 

These knitted cotton cloths are super absorbent and very durable. I use them what feels like a million times a day when drying off surfaces, taking care of spilled liquids, cleaning the bathroom etc. When they are in need of a wash, they get one and then they are good to go again!

 

Switching to these cotton cloths have significantly reduced my use of paper towels and I also profoundly appreciate that I don’t have to drag these big bulky items home from the store anymore.

 

Now, I can’t actually post a link for these exact knitted cotton cloths as they were all handmade by my grandmother’s knitting friends so I found some similar looking ones on Etsy here: Reusable cotton cloths

 

That, or you could knit some yourself – I hear it’s pretty straight forward, it being a simple square and all. Or you could ask someone who knows how to knit to make some for you.

 

Either way, I highly encourage you to give this change a try to reduce waste!
