I’m really just posting this because I’m tired again and nothing special happened today. (I slept a lot.) I looked back through ‘possible post’ pictures and came across these. I like my Swiffer, but I don’t like the disposable cloths. I like to use a damp washcloth. We have a whole stack of white washcloths from WalMart ($5 a dozen, I believe) and they get used for everything in the kitchen. Anyway, the most satisfying part is after you’ve mopped your floor with them, as I do religiously twice a year –
– the dirt that accumulates is so satisfyingly gross. Then just flip it over and use the other side. If I’m doing the whole first floor I just keep rinsing out the same cloth.
There, a disgusting public service announcement from Eco-Freak.
Remind me not to use one of your kitchen washcloths to wash my face.
Oh, you don’t want to know what I use the bathroom washcloths for. 😉
You’ll be really proud of me Lauren, knowing that I also use both sides of my Swiffer cloth. Yay! However the proudness stops short because I do use the disposable ones. And sometimes (most times) I’m too lazy to get out the Swiffer so I just use my feet as the mop…does that help the environment any?
You’re after my own heart, Peggy. Maybe I should buy you some of these!
HA!
But what about all the chemicals involved in cleaning those dirty pieces of cloth? Detergents, bleaches,… And the extra water it takes…?
😉
No chemicals here. I beat my laundry against a rock in the river and use tree bark as soap.
Wasteful! of water and tree bark!
