Stumbleupon’ed this thread and should say that washcloths fit the Swiffer sweeper perfectly, too. A pack of them at Costco breaks down to 41 cents each. Maybe a plus for the “i hate microfiber” people, and they can be put through a pretty brutal cleaning process (hot water, bleach) if your cleaning is grubby. 100% cotton (biodegradable), and really bad ones become garage/dog paw rags.They work well wet or dry and can be used on both sides.

Yup, we love them! We not only use them for dusting but we also wipe down mirrors, computers, TV’s and baseboards with them. Hope it helps!

So now that you have been using these for a while, are you still happy with them? Just using them for dusting, or have you found new uses as well?

You should check out the Gorgeously Green books by Sophie Uliano. The newest “Do It Gorgeously” has a whole section on how to make everything for your baby. There’s ‘recipes’ for diaper wipes, diaper cream, shampoo, bath bombs… everything!

I love my microfiber dusting cloths! Not sure how most people use them, but I actually dampen them before I use them for dusting and I have stopped using furniture dusting sprays and polishes. I hated the build-up on my wood furniture and feel more like the water is cleaning as well as dusting!

Three years ago, I bought a 10-pack of baby washcloths from IKEA ($5.99) and stopped buying paper towels. I’ve since invested in two more packs of the washcloths, but I use them for everything in my kitchen: holding food, cleaning spills, polishing the faucet, wiping down the table and chairs, covering a breakfast burrito in the microwave, wiping tempura paint from little fingers. They sit in a neatly folded stack in a wire basket on my kitchen counter, right about where the paper towels would go. I do a small load of these towels about once/week on hot.

We’re planning to use cloth diapers (BumGenius All-In-One Organics) with Seventh Generation wipes (and we might even DIY some cloth wipes as well). Hope it helps!

Thanks for the inspiration Natasha! We also plan to use cloth diapers and wipes for our little one and we can’t wait to see how it goes!
