ALSO,  “COFFEE SPONGE”
dish washing detergent can be substituted with excess coffee grounds left after you’ve drank your coffee or from coffee shops near you.
we’ve tried itL simply wrap a good fistfull of used coffee grounds in pure bleached linen, and tie it off with a rubber band.
use at will!! use it as a coffee sponge. It really works. remember:

SUDS / BUBBLES DOES NOT EQUAL CLEAN!!

Try them out, and pass these ideas to you friends! Its a healthier and more environmentally friendly alternative!!
