In an effort over the years to save money at the grocery store and reduce our waste, I’ve found reusable alternatives to many paper products that we were using. Examples: Replace paper napkins with cloth napkins. Skip the paper towels and instead keep some old towels and rags under your kitchen sink to clean up kitchen spills.

Rinse well, stuff loose with white paper towels or white cotton (so the shoe will hold its shape) and then air dry. Polish smooth leather shoes after cleaning.
