Please Clean Up that Mess!

When kids make a mess, hand them a dishrag instead of a paper towel and lovingly ask them to clean it up. By using a dishrag, your family will save money and time (since cloths are thicker and more absorbent). It’s estimated that 3,000 tons of paper towels are sent to landfills every single day. But, if you must use paper towels, consider rinsing and reusing. Most paper towels are made to be durable and can be rinsed and dried on the counter with ease.

And, you can use the clean-up time to have a quick discussion about responsibility.
