[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 454826, member: 11791"] Other ideas and notes: Anything that comes with FOOD in it, is usually safe to re-use for food - water bottles are an exception. Ice cream - buy it in pails, not boxes - the pails are great for all sorts of stuff. Re-use plastic cutlery - even if a few pieces get broken each time, its amazing how many rounds of use they will take. Pick up old melamine plates for picnics etc. - instead of paper plates. Pure white light-weight terry cloth makes good "bar mops" - or you can buy bar mops already made up. These are like small dish towels, but super absorbant. Use for any food-related clean-ups, as food washes out - use white because then you can bleach them to sanitize and/or get rid of stains. Use baking soda for cleaning - scrubbing tubs, getting rid of tea stains, etc. - cheap and environmentally friendly. Put up a clothes line. [/QUOTE]
