Earth stuff aside...everyday you will be so happy that thing is always there. LOL


Just a rag tip:

- get a small trashcan with a lid to toss your dirty cleaning towels in. This is great for the kitchen ones because it contains the cloth and scent and wont draw bugs like a hamper can (apt person here and paranoid about roaches)

- I boil a pot of water with a plosh plop of white vinegar and sea salt. Drop the towels in and it gets them cleaner than any washing machine.

I like those walmart bin rags too! They are such great scrubbers!

Maybe this was a discussion about types of cloth that clean better things?
I dont know?...but yes...I notice that. I love my old flannel sheets rip rags and newspaper to polish the glass and mirrors.

Where would I find reusable coffee filters?
My parents drink coffee every week day and I might be able to convince them to use a reusable coffee filter.

Will you PLEASE come to my house and tell my DH that? For some reason he likes to use the nice white clean towels fresh from the laundry to do his rebuilding!!!

You find them with the coffee makers. They cost about ten bucks.
I bought one but I only use it if I run out of paper filters.

They don't filter as good as paper and there is always a fine mud residue in the bottom of the cup. Besides that, the little valve that lets me remove the carafe when the coffee is brewing doesn't work with the permanent filter, and there is also the fact that you have to clean them each time.

reusable coffee filters - Google Search

There are a ton of links. I think the gold versions taste the best and leave less of a bitter taste. BUT if your family is used to the taste of a paper filter I would go with the hemp ones. Get a couple so they can fully dry between washings.

p.s. your size # should be on your filter box now or in your manual.
