I decluttered my towel collection. How to reuse them without sewing.

I recently found mold on a towel.

So, I was thinking, "Should I throw it away?" or "No, I should use it as a cleaning cloth," and then suddenly

"I'm single, so I don't really need that many towels, do I?"I realized this embarrassing fact and became flustered.

The number of towels in my house would fill one 74cm deep clothing cabinet.

You definitely don't need this much.

Towels are consumables, so they are easy to dispose of and reuse.

So this time, I decided to take the plunge and get rid of the excessive amount of towels.

Because I'm lazy,No-sew recycling methodI also tried it.

Today's decluttering rules

• There is stain/mold that won't come off
• Even after washing, it still smells of bacteria
• It's not my favorite, I don't like the color

I decided to get rid of things that fit the following criteria.

Towels I got rid of this time:

There were several bath towels, so it ended up being quite a lot.

I've only been using this for a few days, but I'm still adjusting the height and shape to find a comfortable place to sleep.

When I searched for ways to reuse bath towels, I foundFold it into thirds to use as a bath matThere were quite a few people who said this.

It's a great idea and I really wanted to try it, but it's not time to replace our bath mat yet, so I'll have to pass on it for now.

When it's time to replace my bath mat, I'd like to try reusing my bath towels instead of buying a new one.

[Side note] The problem of bath towels being too big

Actually, this time I got rid of almost all of the bath towels I was using.

I've always thought that bath towels are difficult to dry because they're so big, and I can't afford to go to the laundromat every time.

With that in mind, I tried using a face towel as a bath towel, but since my hair reaches below my shoulders, it felt a little too narrow.

I was searching for a bath towel that was just the right size, and I found just the thing!!

I feel like this solves all the problems I have with bath towels.

The size is like a mini bath towel.

I wanted to buy it right away, but it was sold out 😭

It seems like the world knows what's good.

Since it is an Imabari towel, it would make a great gift.

I'll keep checking stock and plan to buy it soon.

Reusing face towels

Dirty old towels,ragI decided to reuse it as a

This time it's for home use, so I plan to use it in places that are likely to be very dirty.

for example,

• Oil stains in the kitchen
• Cleaning the entrance
• Wiping windows and screen doors
• Car cleaning

Once, when I wiped a screen door with a rag, it turned completely black in an instant, and even after washing it was difficult to remove the stain, so I ended up throwing it away.

In situations like this, it's convenient to use rags because you can throw them away right away.

Another nice thing about rags is that you don't have to sew them.

How to make a rag

First, use scissors to cut off the thicker parts of the fabric where it has been sewn.

Pull the cut part from both sides and tear it apart.

This way, there will be less lint than when you cut it with scissors.

I also had an old white cotton T-shirt, so I made that into a rag as well.

This is how the rag turned out.

Indoor cleaning rags were placed in empty cases and stored in various places.

This is how I store my car rags.

It seems to absorb the moisture.

It was easy because I didn't have to sew.

On this day, the day ended with me tearing up the towel.／(^o^)＼

Actually, I still have a lot of towels that haven't been treated yet, but I'll do it little by little when I have time.

I think most of them will become rags or cleaning cloths, but if you can think of a new way to use them,XI'll post it on there too.

This year is almost over, but I'm still decluttering 💪

Thank you for reading this far today.
