Here’s an eye-opening statistic: US households produce over 3,000 tons of waste each day due to the use of paper towels! Our landfills are filling up, and if we don’t start slowing our usage, we’re going to max ‘em out!

That being said, here’s a great find – and an even better way to help the environment: If you’ve ever used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, you know how great they work on scuffs and hard-to-clean soils. You also know how quickly they disintegrate after a few uses. Well, I just came across this cleaning cloth, appropriately found at greatcloth.com. It works just like the Magic Eraser, but this thing will last for years. I believe it is supposed to work for a good 5 years. You can use it on any hard surface, and it will clean just about anything. The best part is you just wash this thing like you would a rag, you can even bleach it, and it’s just as good as new. So if you want to cut back on those harsh chemicals and paper towels, you should try it!
