"Did you know that Americans use more that 13 billion paper towels each year and that number is growing steadily?" That is a staggering number! In the same online blurb, "it states that globally 254 tons of paper towels are discarded each year." Source: Online
Those numbers are astonishing.
Over the past several months, I have reduced my use of paper towels by increasing the number of rags I use for cleaning. It also serves as one way to save money.
Products like this Swedish dishcloth pictured below are designed to help reduce the number of paper towels you use. They are more absorbent than paper towels and are able to be used over and over again. You are able to pop them in the washing machine or the top rack of the dishwasher. The company states that you can wash it up to 200 times. Hmm. We will see.
How do you cut down on your paper towel usage?
