Use Your Leftovers

One of my favorite ways to use up leftover batting is to cut scraps into 9×13" rectangles and attach them to my dust mop. I then use the mop to clean tile and hardwood floors of threads, dust, and pet hair quickly and easily. Don't throw it away until you turn it over and use the clean side!
