I print a lot of them out from the internet, plus I also have tear-out pages from magazines too. I keep a three-hole punch near it so after I tear it out I can put it right in the binder. If you find that you are using one recipe over and over again, put a page protector on it. This system works really well for me. -- Username Kim Homemade Counter Wipes You will need between 2 and 4 cups of cleaning solution, depending on the size and absorbency of the paper towel product selected.
