Family cloth how to?

Welcome to the world of family cloth! Yes, we’re talking about reusable toilet paper. Don’t turn your nose up just yet, because this economical and environmentally-friendly alternative is easier than you think. Below we’ll be sharing some tips on how to incorporate family cloth into your household with ease.

What Is Family Cloth?

In case you didn’t already know, family cloth is a term used for soft strips of fabric that are used in place of disposable toilet paper. These pieces can be made from any old cotton clothing or towels lying around the house or bought online from various brands offering eco-friendly alternatives.

Why Switch To Family Cloth?

Let’s face it – disposable toilet paper isn’t sustainable. It takes years to break down and adds to an approximate 28 billion rolls claimed by one end every year [1]. However, using family cloths greatly reduces such waste while also saving cost since they’re washable and reusable for months or even years!

And given how industrious situations are these days due to COVID19 lockdowns; why risk running out of TP when there’s no need? You’ve got all yo’ textiles at home right now: so cut ‘em up & sew them together where necessary – BOOM – instant flushable functionality!

Preparation

Before embarking on this journey towards sustainability and zero-waste life hacks, get some things ready:

  • Fresh water (avoid scented detergents)

  • Washing basin / Pail

  • Old Towels/Cotton clothes

Sorry but NO baby onesies allowed here! We do care about hygiene after all

Sewing Required

No worries if sewing has never been your forte; it’s time for a quick beginner class. The easiest way to make family cloths is by snipping squares measuring roughly 6 inches across using sharp scissors , then stitch them together carefully.

Store Properly

Family cloth can be kept in a basket or container with a lid within your washroom. Don’t forget to label and separate them according to their function – number one or two.

Use & Care

Alright, now you’ve got the cloths ready; here comes the big question — HOW to use family cloth?

When going for numéro uno, simply grab what is necessary for absorption (unscented please!) and simplify business as usual. Now for número dos (two) : make sure #1 VS #2 do not mix up! Once done wiping away any residual ways goodbye; place used ones inside your pail of fresh water.

Cleaning Family Cloth

If washing after each use isn’t practical for you then don’t feel pressured but it may be ideal if odor irritates ya’ll! Rinse/wash out immediately with cold saltwater solution especially when using darker colours , followed by air-drying right away (don’t leave till future time). Afterward, launder everything together in hot water separately from clothes using unscented detergent.

We repeat: skipping these steps will result in an unwelcoming scenario

Smooth Transition To Family Cloth

This format will save you some cash; however switching from disposable toilet paper isn’t everyone’s cup of tea therefore slowly easing into its usage is fine so that this new idea not come across as gross all at once:

  • Step One – Try incorporating family cloth during travel to lessen both waste and effort.

  • Step Two – Gradually replace every other roll of TP while checking which method better suits lifestyles – homemade or store-bought?

  • Step Three – Commit fully if everything has gone rather smoothly… Give yourselves a pat on a back!

Bottom Line = Less Waste & Saves Money Hopefully!

The key takeaway? We understand how scary change might seem but making little changes could make substantial positive differences over long-term. Family cloths can be used to supplement your existing sustainability efforts in addition to other eco-friendly measures! Don’t forget also that: 100% of diseases are passed from hand-to-hand (aahhh!) not by the fabrics we use, sanitize daily.

So do yourself a favor – try switching over family cloth and make both an ecological as well as budget-conscious decision with positive future impact; besides who needs NORMI culture these days anyway? We dare you to give it a whirl!
