What is everyones kitchen counter wiping situation? I loathe my set up. Currently a rotation of cheapy micro cloth rags that hang over faucet & get smelly fast. I wash often but I’m just wondering if there’s a wonder rag or a way thats superior. Is this obvious ?! Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of a good resource for finding sewing piecework or contract production sewing jobs? Is there a list or directory? I’m looking for freelance work I can do from my own sewing studio, think small-batch production, assembly, etc. I have industrial machines, equipment! Would love any leads or recs!
