“46. Use [baking soda] to sweeten sour dishcloths.”

I can’t get my husband to understand the difference between a kitchen rag (plain white terrycloth from Home Depot) and my dishtowels (colorful terrycloth or cotton cloth). When I’m not watching he uses the dishtowels to clean the dirty stove or wipe off the edge of the pans.

But he does so much cooking I just try to outwit him and hand him the white towels when I think he needs one.

Funny what habits we have and can’t break.

You will learn to not bring out the pretty ones, except for special occasions.

Use them up and don’ t worry about them, there are far more important things in life, LOL, that I can say now, wish I had known it years ago.

An you even help him by having them be different colors! I should give up on mine figuring out which sponge is for dishes and which one for counters then. They all look the same (they get bumped to the next level, ya know)
