If I get messy, I just wait and wash my hands at the end. I would like to have some on hand for guests, though. Finding them at thrift stores is perfect! I might even make some out of old sheets or pillowcases. This is my next project.<br /><br />I just started the "No-Poo Shampoo" and I already love it! Otherwise I have natural bar soap for use on body and hair.<br /><br />I agree about the single-use paper hand towels. I have seen that commercial and it makes me want to spit.

It's so helpful to have a list to go through and see what else I can work on changing next. Thanks!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
