Think you’re ready to take the plunge?

This was not an easy transition for either of us. And truth be told, we still like to keep a secret stash of them tucked away for the draining of occasionally fried foods, and extra icky messes such as when the dogs get sick. Otherwise, we use cloth cleaning rags that we make from cutting up old t-shirts, socks and other appropriate fabric items. These are fine for cleaning up spills, wiping counters and washing windows. I’ve even known folks who’ve used them as a substitute for face cloths when pennies were extra tight.
