It’s hard to avoid the news about the mountains of textile waste we send to landfill every year. However, the question of what to do with old clothes is a tough one. Landfill is a terrible place for them because they are made of precious resources and most won’t biodegrade for decades or longer. Ideally, we should sell or donate our old clothes, but this is only possible (or helpful for charities) if the garments are still wearable and desirable. When you’re cleaning, a certain amount of absorption is needed. For this reason, it is recommended that ragging garments made from soft natural fibres such as cotton is best and steer clear of anything that’s polyester or synthetic because it just doesn’t absorb as well”.
