I love cloth napkins! Especially with kids they work so much butter I think!

We use cloth napkins and rags/washcloths in place of paper towels. We’ve really gotten used to it, and only on occasion wish we had a paper towel/paper napkin. Speaking of mother-in-law’s, I think it really frustrated my mother-in-law when she stayed for us for 6 weeks, though.

Nice! I’m on dishcloths until we can find a good yard sale score.

That’s a great idea. Now maybe we will stop using our sleeves.

I have a basket in the kitchen (above the fridge) where I keep old dish towels and scrap pieces of cloth. They are NOT pretty (LOL) but they do the job. I usually keep a roll of papertowels in the house but they last forever because I hide them from my husband. LOL. Since I clean now with just natural things like peroxide/water or vinegar/water, I don’t have to worry about mixing the cleaning towels with the wipe our face/hands towels so that makes it even easier!

One tip – do half your scrap towels large and half small like the size of a paper napkin. For cleaning you may need something bigger (like the size of a dish towel) but for wiping face/hands or a quick counter top cleaning, you don’t need much of a towel. This will help on the washing load.

Great! We started using cloth napkins several years ago and have never looked back. Once you get used to them, you can hardly stand using the flimsy paper ones anymore. My mother-in-law keeps an eye out at auctions and brings a big load over every once-in-awhile!
