Nice idea but you’ll still have to launder them. That means using soap/detergent and water to wash them by hand (to save electricity). They could be line dried to eliminate the use of a gas or electric dryer. I’m not sure the water/soap/electricity/gas usage would validate the savings on not using paper towels, but for reducing waste it would make it a positive alternative.
I made a simplified version and keep them in a drawer. We’ve definitely reduced paper towel use by about 50%..and we really didn’t use many to start with!
I’ve replaced my paper towels with flannelette cut into approximately 30cm/12″ squares (or closest even division of fabric width), with edges serged. The flannelette sticks to itself when you roll it on the tube, so no snaps are required. The flannelette is really absorbent and great for wiping up messes.
Karey, That’s a great idea! Thank you for sharing!!!
