Reduce your paper towel usage with microfiber cloths

Thinking about trying to reduce your paper towel usage? I am amazed at how quickly a busy household can go through paper towels and also how expensive they are.

You might want to start building a collection of microfiber kitchen towels. Here are some from Simply Good Stuff. You can use microfiber cloths dry for dusting or slightly damp for cleaning windows and mirrors. Use a mild green cleaner like Method's for when you need a little more cleaning oomph. The cloths are safe for virtually every surface.

They are not cheap at around $20 for a three-pack, but they are a collection you can build slowly. And eventually, they will pay for themselves with all of the paper towels you will not have to buy anymore.
