4. Cut up through the side seams (and shoulder seams if you didn't do so in Step 2) of the T-shirt.
5. Take the front part of the T-shirt and fold it in half. Cut along this fold.
6. Fold the T-shirt in half again. Cut along this fold as well.
7. Repeat for the other side and, voila!, 8 new (old) T-shirt rags for your wonderful cleaning use. Or in my case, to sit with your cleaning products which are beginning to collect dust themselves. Oops.
