Old T-shirt not so great anymore? Save some trees and use it as a cleaning rag!
We’ve all experienced it: our once favorite T-shirt now has holes, stains and rips – a sign of clothing well-worn with love over time. Usually, our next thought is to reluctantly throw this T-shirt in the trash, saying goodbye to it along with the rest of the week’s garbage. Stop. There’s another use for those well-worn pieces of clothing we all have sitting around.
Instead of spending money on paper towels, a huge waste of paper and money, use your old clothes to wipe up that mess. An old cotton T-shirt is great for picking up dust off a desk, cleaning up a coffee spill, or polishing a coffee table. Sure, people have been using old textiles as cleaning rags forever, but how quickly we forget when paper towels and other disposable products become the norm.
For other uses of old textiles as cleaning tools (like waxing your car, cleaning your dog’s paws post-walk, etc.), check here and here.

I drop a comment whenever I appreciate a post on a website or if I have something to valuable to contribute
to the discussion. It is a result of the sincerness displayed in the article
I read. And on this post Eco-Tip #3: Reuse old clothes as cleaning rags |.
I was moved enough to drop a thought ;-) I actually do have a couple of
questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be only me or does
it seem like a few of these comments appear like they are written
by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at additional places, I would like to follow
anything new you have to post. Would you list the complete urls of
your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
