also after baking wash you cookie sheets, pans right away and put into the off oven to dry as that prevents rust…

I have several reusable fabric bags. I wanted to stencil on the plain ones to make not so ugly. I use vinyl reusable bags for meat so they can be cleaned up quick. All bags must be washed.

I’m trying to ditch the plastic bags so I have several reusable. However, in some cases I just end up with a plastic bag. Fortunately in Melbourne most of the big supermarkets have recycling collection bin. When I cannot avoid the plastic bag that’s where it ends eventually!

You can always do the same thing by boiling your sponges!

We have a compost ‘pile,’ I recycle like crazy (my mother-in-law actually asked me about how I go about recycling certain things yesterday), I finally have a clothes line just outside our back entry (which is also our laundry area). I use cloths for cleaning instead of paper towel as often as possible, I make reusable disinfecting wipes (disinfecting solution poured into a glass jar that I saved over rags, then after they are used they get tossed in the laundry.)
Just a few of the things we do to try to save more and waste less. ????

Dry in dryer just long enough to get the wrinkles out , then hang on clothes hangers to finish drying.

I soak the sponge in water and little clothe detergent (powder) then I bring to boil, for 5 min in a pot. You just have to rinse it up, and you get a clean sponge. The detergent gets out dirt and returns the color, and the boiling water disinfects it.

I’m always cold, so leaving my oven door open after I remove the food is something I usually do to get some extra warmth!

Thanks for all the neat tips-I’m always open to new suggestions (or reminders to use the ones I forgot about!)!
