Repurposing good towels

Carole on Sep 08, 2016I have no idea. We use our old towels for the dog. Good for doggy bath time and when she has been in the lake for a swim or it is raining out to dry her off.Helpful Reply

Cindy Hagemann on Sep 08, 2016I agree with Katrzc - if you don't have a use for them there are others who can use them such as Goodwill or my choice, an animal shelter. Why destroy them when they can be used?Helpful Reply

Emmawilliams1 on Sep 08, 2016Or, if you want to: as someone else mentioned...Swiffers...And I am using mine since I don't have the company I used to have, as washcloths and cut up for dishcloths..You can make small hand towels and pull threads to fringe one end, My goodness, there are a multitude of uses..And I do use the older, bigger ones for cat or dog beds..Whatever you do, don't toss them...have a good day!Helpful Reply

Jean White Allen on Sep 08, 2016Towels make wonderful potholders. Cut squares the size you want the potholder to be; use two thicknesses; edge with bias binding. They last forever!Helpful Reply
