Whether it's to polish the outside of your car and give it some much-needed sparkle or to clean up something that spilled from a shelf, reusable rags will certainly come in handy. These are one of those items that should consistently be kept in the room since more often than not, you'll need them unexpectedly and be oh-so-grateful if they're readily available.

While the E-Cloth Cleaning Pack idea is very cool, you don't need to buy a bunch of E-Cloths for everyday use. However instead of reaching for a roll of paper towels every time, find a good use for some of those old t-shirts you no longer wear and turn them (or any other fabric you have) into a stack of rags. It's less expensive in the long run, extremely convenient and you aren't unnecessarily adding to the problem of waste in landfills by using something disposable.
