I now have a box at the bottom of our basement steps (near the laundry room) that I wrote in big, black marker "Dirty Rags". I keep several stashes of clean rags under the kitchen/bathroom sinks near the other cleaning supplies. If I use a rag to clean the toilet, it goes directly into the box. If it's used just for a quick counter wipe down, I'll probably use it again. Once I start to get low on clean rags, I throw them in the laundry on hot, with bleach, by themselves (sometimes with towels I used to dry the dog, but nothing else).
