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.

OK, putting the word green on the package means you can charge 10 fold for something? Go to Target or WalMart (walk there if you want to be green). and go grab a bunch of car wash towels. They come in bundles of 8-12 and they range from $6 to $10. Yeah, that's about 75 cents to a dollar a piece. They are made out of the same stuff, just probably made in China. But you know what, they work the same. Save some green. These are the same and you'll replace more towels with them. I am all for saving the environment, but 1 towel for $8! HAHAHAHAHa.
