I hate stuff falling into the milk. Don't have time to sew or I'd make some round covers with elastic in the hems. So I cut some muslin squares, about 6 inches wider than the top of the milk bucket. Then I tied a knot in each corner and pulled it over the top of the bucket, making a bowl shape depression in the center. If the cover is taut, the milk tends to spray off it, the depression keeps it from being so messy. Takes just a couple of minutes to make one. I have several now, and lay them on the washing machine to dry between loads of wash (so they don't lay around wet and get sour). I put them thru the dryer after washing.
Huh! Was just mulling something similar this morning. After reading your post, will go ahead and try it with confidence! thank you!
Great idea! AND RE USABLE TOO :thumbup: I tend to milk my girls into separate jars so I ended up using my large milk filters over the mouths with the rings keeping them in place.
