Cheap and clean - I like it! Cheaper microfiber cloths

Sometimes the comments on these posts contain little gems of information. On the recent post I wrote about microfiber cloths, an anonymous poster wrote the following tip on getting good microfiber cloths for less. I wanted to make sure you all had a chance to read this!

"I buy my microfiber cloths in the car care aisle at Walmart. They are much cheaper that way. I am retired but still clean for a couple of people and use microfiber all the time. I do use either dish soap or Mr. Clean with them however just because I feel it cleans better than just water but for dusting at my house I use water for finishes that aren't real wood or have a high gloss finish."

A Great Tip for Reducing Dishes - One Cup Each

I had to share this great idea that a friend of mine told me about. You know how we all get frustrated with the ever-growing monster that's also called DISHES? She has a great way to reduce the number of 'meaningless' dishes that pile up in the sink, waiting to be dealt with.

She says that each member of her family has their own cup (or glass) that they use each day. When they've used it, they rinse it out and have it ready to re-use later on. It's really that easy! I think the same could also apply to a dish or plate - for all those snacks that we munch on during the day. She also mentioned that a paper towel is often sufficient for holding snacks, and you don't have to dirty any dishes at all.

Thanks for the great tip, M!
