How often do you refresh your bath & kitchen towels? What do you do with the old ones? I have a closet full of old towels, and I really do not know to what good use I can put them. Terrible dust clothes, I know that! DH uses disposable towels in the garage.

@Harpa...you can donate the old towels to the humane society.....we did that when we cleaned out my step daughters apartment.

Great idea!  I'll do that next time I replace my towels

@Harpa, HI!  I use my old ones for nasty cleaning jobs like patio furniture, mailbox outside, utility tubs in basement, my basement shoe closet floor, stuff like that !  Hope that helps.

I've always donated mine to my former vet's practice.

I keep a few for any mop-ups, inside the door to wipe feet on a rainy day, sometimes we need to cover things like the bird's cage, etc.  Otherwise, the thrift shop is happy to have them or any animal shelter too as previously suggested.  My friend goes to Mexico and takes them as her community there has so little.

@Harpa     Please donate your old towels and blankets to the Humane Society or any animal rescue organization.  They will very much appreciate them.

Thank you, everyone, for your ideas!!

I use my towels until thread bare but the old ones I put in a box in the linen closet. I mainly use them for dirty jobs and to clean up paint spills. 

I do do the same thing with DH’s old socks.
