Frugal Tip: Reuse your Kleenex Hand Towels
I've been reusing the used Kleenex hand towels for house cleaning to get extra use out of them.

When I opened the dryer door there were a couple of cleaned and not ripped ortorn Kleenex hand towels.
They aren't as durable and I wouldn't suggest washing any ripped ones. But there is certainly more life left after one use. Next time I'm going to try putting the used Kleenex hand towels in a lingerie bag to wash them.
Here's what a Kleenex Hand Towel that has been washed and dried in our washing machines look like:
Great tip! Some of the best discoveries are accidental! I like the idea of the lingerie bag (mesh zippered bag) to keep them together. Thank you for sharing frugalite.

ReplyDeleteI have a sewing/altering business on the side. I’m up to my eyeballs in sewing for two weddings and Christmas gift sewing for others. On top of that, I’ve got all of my own Christmas sewing to do along with all the other holiday busyness. hand towels
