This month I'm trying to give up paper napkins. I already had a nice supply of cloth but it still wasn't enough for the family for a day (I insist on a clean one every meal) so I dug out some fabric scraps and made 6 more. Even with this I only have enough for a day so the success of this experiment will rest on me keeping up with the laundry (hum, wonder how that will go?).
So far I'm failing miserably. I think I'm going to keep a kitchen linens laundry basket close to the kitchen and wash and dry it each night. Dish towel usage has increased since I began hand washing the dishes so this in needed. Even still it should be a small load and shouldn't take much time. I have also cut 6 more napkins to sew which should help. Maybe if I had two days worth I could run the kitchen linens every other day and it would lesson the pressure some. So far this doesn't seem like simplifying my life, but once I establish a system I think it will be no big deal.
