365 Days, 365 Ways...To Go Green

I just purchased a package of microfibre cloths because I keep finding uses for them! Originally I used them for dusting to avoid using chemical laced furniture sprays. An addtional benefit - no more paper towels saving me money and reducing garbage. Last year my mom visited and brought a package to wash dishes. Thanks, Mom! They not only clean the dishes but I use them to wipe down the faucets and sink because they don't leave spots. Mom also proudly bought me a Swiffer Sweeper which I never wanted because of the throwaway pads. Time to come up with a compromise which was quite simple. I just attached the microfibre towels to the Swiffer either wet or dry - problem solved and Mom and I are still talking! They are better than paper towels to wipe up spills and a damp microfiber towel cleans windows and mirror in a flash. I just dampen them with a light solution of vinegar and water. This last purchase was for my vehicles. A friend said they are better than a chamois. When all the cleaning is done I just toss them in the washer (no fabric softener), air dry them and they are good as new. Most of my microfiber cloths are over 5 years old. So let's see, I save money and the landfill, no more chemicals, and they clean more effectively. Oh, I almost forgot. I bought a microfiber towel last year to dry our dogs when then got out of the pool and now I use it to dry my hair! I better post this before I think of other uses! I am looking forward to hearing how you use these cloth wonders.
