Well, it is time to say the truth. Yes, you absolutely love paper towels, however, they are just very expensive confetti that goes into the trash bin. Buying, using and throwing these rolls constantly takes away quite a lot of money of busy stay-at-home mother without even realizing it. Using microfiber cloths means that you are going to take your grocery money and piece of mind away from the trash.

It might seem like a very expensive idea at first sight, but believe me, in numbers everything becomes clear. One high-quality microfiber cloth equals to fifty rolls of Bounty. You do not need to run around like a mad person, panicking that you are out of paper towels. Think about cloths as small warriors that fight waste. They are more durable, cheaper, and above all, efficient.

However, it will be hard work because one step is not enough – you need to have an action plan. The point is that you will buy all these blue cloths, but the next step will be even harder – you need to have a place where you would be able to keep them dirty. Like your underwear, you need to wash them in hot water without fabric softener. Fabric softener makes cloths slippery and less absorbent that is the whole purpose of them.

It will be difficult for you to change your habits because the next step after seeing the mess will be grabbing the rolls of paper towels. Of course, it will seem weird and strange to you in the beginning, but you need to train your muscles. Do not feel guilty about yourself if you will buy a few rolls of paper towels for guests or in case of bacon grease because this is what progress looks like. You will be surprised how fast this habit will form because of the thickness of your wallet.

There might be times when you will see so disgusting messes that no one would want to wipe them off with a cloth that was used before. Of course, you can ignore this. However, in this case, you can use only one roll of paper towels that must be kept close to the sink. In all other cases – for spills, muddy paw prints and anything else – use microfiber cloth because they really wipe off counters from dust and other things. You will be the queen of organization.
