Oil & Fuel cheap or not

[Mace Canute]

Yes, my paper towels get used and reused as many times as I can manage it, the progression is usually from when I wipe my hands clean of hand cleaner to using them to wipe clean my lathe and mill to general clean up to wiping up oil and grease. By the time a paper towel hits my garbage bin, its been well used!

I use scott rags, they are similar to the heavy duty blues, I just throw them away, they aren't that expensive.

I made this double PT dispenser with a single roll of TP for those little wipe up jobs and yes, I do on occassion keep a lightly used paper towel around for a second cleaning.

Can't say I keep them around intentionally, but if one is around, I'll use it for spilled oil and such. Most often, I use paper towels or paper napkins when using the grease gun.

Good idea though, with the cost of things- it wouldn't hurt to have a small "Clean" garbage can by the sink. If you know they were only used to dry your hands, you know where to grab them quickly to use.

Not much different then sorting recyclable materials into different cans.

some zilch would you like to elaborate on that answer? no lol :confused2:

The planet welcomes any effort to conserve it's resources. I have a check down of uses for a vast number of things until they are of no use and either return to the earth, get recycled or unfortunately go to the landfill.

You know I thought more people on here would admit to being cheap, uh , I mean thrifty, but I guess they are too embarassed. LOL zman:laughing:
