Use Cloth, Not Paper Towels
No matter how big a roll of paper towels might be, you still end up with nothing left in a week or two. So, why keep spending money on these items in a feeble attempt to wipe down your kitchen counters or bathroom? Just ask your gramps and grams for some old-school solutions.
One of them would be to use rags for cleaning. You surely have plenty of them already, from cloth napkins to dish towels to microfiber cloths. If you want to make the most of what you’ve got in your house, you could also use newspapers, especially to clean windows, like your grandparents used to do back in the days.
