Paper towels are great for cleaning up messy bits, but we all like to do our part (however, big or small) to reduce and reuse by using less wasteful alternatives.

At major Canadian retailers, reusable cleaning cloths are fast to locate in the cleaning supplies aisle by looking for the easily identifiable J-Cloths hexagonal box, its large, white “J” logo, and by its blue/white-stripped cloths. Reusable cleaning wipes are a bit trickier to find in Silicon Valley if you’re accustomed to searching the store aisles for J-Cloths.
