Today is rag day in our house. It’s the day that the rag bucket gets emptied and all the rags are washed and put out in the sun to dry. It can look a little weird – last time we had rag day we had visitors and had to explain why we had strange looking bits of ripped/torn clothing hanging on the clothes horse. It makes the cleaning a lot cheaper than using store bought cloths or paper towels and is a good way to reuse clothes that are too old to be worn by anyone else. It also means you have lots of clean cloths for places like the kitchen and bathroom which is more hygienic than having the same Kleenex cloth day after day.
January Paper Towel Challenge
A week ago I wrote about one of my small projects which was trying to reduce my use of paper towels Informed Consumer | Small ‘projects’. Today I came across a green website http://www.greendaily.com/category/green-challenge/ with a monthly challenge. Kelly’s monthly challenge for January is reducing her paper towel consumption. I’m glad to read that my husband is not the only one who can’t comprehend such a concept as no paper towels!!
