Back then I had a “recipe” for making them from paper towels. I can’t remember it–but it saved a LOT of money back when money was a big concern.

Yep–those are the directions. I don’t think I’m that frugal anymore, though. 🙂

I also use them for one of my cats who happens to have a very large F.U.P.A.\* and thus cannot fold in half enough to clean her own arse.

You see, I went and read page 2, starting with newest posts, then went back to page 1, reading from the bottom of the thread up…

I didn’t realise a feline was being discussed until further scrolling…

😛 I use them to wipe dust and dirt off the dashboard, etc.; no other accidents happen in there!

Well, keep your feet off the dashboard…

OK, enough of that. If you want to use a cleaner that won’t leave people wondering if you have irritable bowel syndrom, and won’t dull your interior plastics, a simple swiffer works fine. It’s essentially a tack cloth, and dust will cling to it.
