A growing number of people are ditching toilet paper in favor of a reusable 'family wipe'

Because yes, beyond ecology, the financial argument is also a decisive factor. A family spends an average of between €100 and €200 per year on toilet paper. With reusable tissues, this expense becomes almost nonexistent.

But then, how does it work in practice?

How does the family rag work?

The principle is simple:

Pieces of fabric (cotton, bamboo, flannel, etc.) replace toilet paper.
After use, they are placed in a closed container or airtight bag.
They are washed regularly with the rest of the laundry, at 40 or 60°C.
Some people prefer to dampen their cloth with a water spray or a natural cleaning solution for added comfort.

And what about hygiene? Proponents insist that with a good wash, there's no risk. Some use white vinegar, baking soda, or essential oils for even more effective cleaning.

But obviously, not everyone is convinced...

The big question everyone is asking: is it really clean?
