Making Rags


Clothes that my children have outgrown I sell online.  If an item is in good shape and isn't sold I donate it to Value Village. 
However there are times that my kids have completely ruined their clothes either by stains or holes.   
I collect the clothes that are ruined in the basement in a Rubbermaid container. Every now and then I take them and cut them into rags and put them in a large bag.   We use the rags for cleaning or out and around the property for clean ups. We wash them whenever possible.  We keep a bag of rags on top of the washing machine, one in the linen closet and many in the basement.
I have even sold them in a grocery sized bag for $5 online.   My paper towel usage has gone down plenty.  More money in my pocket... These loonies add up quickly.
