I just cut them and use them with a raw edge. But I never buy rags. Ever. And all of those stray socks become dusters too. I especially love those for cleaning the blinds!<br />Fist time here.....I had a nice visit.<br />xo KrisKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146108932998813686.post-84762023988170871872013-04-21T12:39:25.764-05:002013-04-21T12:39:25.764-05:00What a thoughtful and useful present from your Aun...What a thoughtful and useful present from your Aunt!
