Repurposing a plastic bag holder/dispencer

In the never ending quest to get organized and reduce/reuse/recycle, I have repurposed a plastic bag dispencer to holding microfiber cloths and towels in my kitchen. I have mounted it on the inside of a cabinet door, making it easily accessible. This pretty much eliminates my need for paper towels, as I use these to wipe up counters and clean up spills. At the end of the day, I simply place these towels in a small laundry basket to be washed. I wash them only with detergent (no fabric softner as it decreases the effectiveness of the microfiber).  I have a sanitary cycle on my LG front loader, but if you don't, just make sure to wash on the highest temperature setting to kill any bacteria.
