Today's Works for me Wednesday is the frugal edition.My frugal tip for today is to use rags (in this case old towels) instead of paper towels or swiffer cloths when cleaning.
I recently bought a large bag of used towels (but still in really good condition) from the thrift store for $3. Inside were 3 large bath towels and 7 smaller hand towels.
I think I will save 2 of the larger towels for when I need to bathe the dogs (so I don't get dog hair on our towels) and cut up the others for spring cleaning.
I can use them for wiping down anything and everything (bathroom/kitchen counters, window sils, light switches, baseboards, sinks, mirrors), and I will cut them to size and attach to my swiffer duster to use either wet or dry to sweep/wipe the floors.
And then I will simply toss them into the washer and use them again and again and not waste money on those swiffer refills.
Old towels as rags works for me!

Good tip! =)
Great tip. Seems like no one uses rags anymore. I think they're gonna make a comeback with the economy the way it is. We are looking to cut corners (and trash waste) as much as possible.

I love that idea. I just cut up most of my receiving blankets for rags for the baby. I'm going to try towels too. (Do they unravel if you cut them?)
