From Old Towels to Dish Cloths - January 2016
Having raised six children this is something I have been doing for a long time. Old towels what to do with them not much good for bath time but i didn't want to just throw them out.
First we used them as bath mats.
Secondly, I cut them up into dish cloth size and over locked the edges and used them for the kitchen great for the sink and benches or any cleaning job.
Thirdly when the next lot of towels were worn thin and ready for cutting up the previous lot ended up in the garage where my husband who works with cars made good use of them.
I have no way of knowing how much we have saved but each towel, only ever bought when on special, was recycled and reused many times over.
