maybe i’m searching for more stable support in my life that isn’t disposable, but this is my fav solution so far.
keep 2 sponges & rags/towels in your kitchen: 1 for dishes (clean sponge/rag) and one for jobs you would reserve for paper towels (dirty job sponge/rag). that dirty job squad will save you so much money on pp towels. i also just get a kick out of saying, “dirty job sponge!” when ever i have to clean something up. i’m healing from a lot of childhood trauma around neglect… searching for any morsel of joy around cleaning/taking care of myself so i can to rewire some of these neural pathways. this has helped me :’)
i.e; i’ve spilled wet cat food on the floor and used my dirty sponge to scoop up the food and wipe the floor off. and then i use my dirty rag to wipe it dry. rinse your dirty sponge rag in the sink and you just cleaned your house with out generating landfill waste 🙂↕️
disclaimer: i do use pp towels in my bathroom when i clean the top of the toilet. das it tho.
