As with recycling most anything, you save money and the planet by recycling worn household linens. New linens, especially nice ones, can be very expensive. Most linens are not seen by guests and therefore can be repaired without anyone but you knowing the difference. Holes, tears, or ripped hems are easily sewn up and your linens are practically as good as new. You can re-use towels, bedding, and even clothing for many different uses. Most commonly they are cut up and used as cleaning rags but you could also turn them into other things such as patchwork quilts or braided rugs. Large pieces such as bedsheets and tablecloths could be turned into curtains or children's clothing even if they have some small holes or stains. Donating them to a homeless shelter or thrift store is also a great way to ensure that your old linens are reused by someone who needs them.
