They also remove make-up, without any soap or cleanser. Microfiber cloths are wonderful for cleaning your bathroom, you don't need any cleaners and your sink will sparkle. Also great for cleaning the mirrors. Just remeber to wash them separetely from other items. Do not combine with lint type fabrics; do not wash with fabric softeners or bleach.

6/ Save on coffee, if you are using an electric percolator coffee pot, make enough in the morning and just reheat later on what you didn't use in the morning. Coffee can sit for hours, without greatly affecting the taste. When it comes time to re-heat, make sure you remove the coffee grounds and plug in the pot for a few minutes.

7/ Save on cream by substituting vanilla flavored rice milk. Tastes really good.
