Cleaning up grime and dust can be an icky business. In our hurriedness to get the muck out, we repeatedly make use of paper towels and various other cleaning tools for single use purpose. Although these items are more handy and easy to use, they are awfully pernicious, especially when a more eco-friendly solution can easily be used. Instead of using paper towels to wipe windows and mirrors, use scrunched up newspapers.
