I just thought of another one. I buy those stacks of cheap washcloths at Target to use around the house instead of paper towels. You get a huge stack for a few dollars and they come in pretty colors. They'll hold out at least a year. Mine are 15 months old right now and they're faded and ugly but still doing the trick. I use them for everything.
Have y'all heard of ShMops? The best thing ever in the mop world IMO. It has a huge flat head and you use terrycloth covers. I have 7 covers so I'm never mopping with dirty water. I just fill my mop bucket, and throw all of the covers in. I put one on and mop with it until it isn't wet enough and then pull out another one. The dirt never touches your clean mop water. Then I wash them with any Target rags that are waiting to be washed.
