Bandana's are not just used as a head covering anymore

I just read this in the latest version of the Dollar Stretcher and thought Duh!!! Now I know why my grandfather always had a bandana hanging out of his pocket when he was in his garden, and to think I thought he just used it to wipe the sweat of his brow. You can get them at AC moore or the Dollar Store for a dollar. I know I try to reuse my papertowels when I'm cooking in the kitchen and am constantly getting my hands wet or dirty with ingredients. I'm going to start doing this instead. A Girl Scout Trick Girl Scouts use bandanas when camping, and I've adapted the idea to use at home. As an at-home mom raising five kids with two still in diapers, I wash my hands often. To keep things sanitary (especially during times of sickness), I tend to use paper towels to dry my hands. Now, I use the bandana! Simply tuck the corner of the bandana into your pocket or waistband or hang it near the sink and use to quickly dry your hands. The thin bandana dries quickly and you might be surprised how many times you use it if you keep it tucked into your pocket or pants. I've drastically reduced the number of paper towels I use and the addition of laundering the bandanas has been marginal at best. And because my bandana is for my personal use, I'm not picking up or spreading any germs to my husband or kids. Give it a try! Michelle in DE
