After wearing my t-shirts to the point of being thread-bare or irrevocably stained (3-10 years), they become excellent lint-free rags for the electronics workbench & garage/workshop.

The front and back panels of the t-shirt can be easily segmented into the desired size of rag (credit card sized for electronics, hand sized for the garage).

They're also excellent for window cleaning. Just wash the window with a wet old clothing rag and dry it with a dry one afterwards. It works so well. Much faster than any cleaning products and it leaves no residue.

They are also perfect for gun cleaning! Cut small squares for cleaning barrels, and keep bigger pieces for wiping down parts. I do this with my old nasty shirts.
