Use a Hanging Towel in the Kitchen

To save on paper towels, and land fill. Tie a hanging towel in the kitchen. They are hard to find, but easy to make. I use mine, when cooking and cleaning the whole time.

Source: My own idea been dong this to save money, for years.

Guess I am lazy because I don't want to bother unhooking those to use them so I just drape a regular kitchen towel over my oven door handle ;-)

I just use a regular towel rack in between my Fridge and the end of the counter. I still do dishes by hand unless it's a Holiday, only two of us, so I can hand my dish cloth and a dish towel there. I get the smaller one, I think it is for hand towels, not the large towels. It works for me.

Here's another way: during my childhood, and I do it now, I have a 3 rod metal attachment (I don't know the actual product name) to hang 2 handtowels and keep them in place with a colored clothespin!

I took a nice pot holder, folded it in half and then took the hand towel and also folded it in half and sewed it to the pot holder, I sewed a button on the pot holder and then hung it on my stove door handle. Comes in very handy! I would suggest not getting the towels at the dollar store, they are too thin.

OOPS, I didn't see the article about this very same thing...sorry about that.

I keep a towel on a small stick on hook near my sink, this works for me.
