Tip # 52 Recycle old clothes/blankets/sheets/etc

Believe me, I'm all about trying to decrease clutter and get rid of things you don't need, but there are several ways to reuse some of these items. Old t-shirts make great rags for cleaning up spills or washing the car. Old blankets make good padding when you need to move furniture and keep either your car or your furniture from getting scratched up.
