[quote=Anonymous]My family uses way way way too many paper towels. But it’s a hard habit to break.

We use them to wipe dribs and drabs and real spills on the kitchen counters and floor; to dry hands after we wash at the kitchen sink; to wipe up bits of food off the counters after food prepping; to mop up around the dog’s dish after he slobbers; so on. There are days we go through half a roll.

I have lots of little microfiber cleaning cloths, but my family (including me) doesn’t like them in place of paper towels - to me the biggest issue is they can only be used to clean one mess, so I have a pile of cloths to launder at the end of each day. It also feels gross to put cloths dirty with food particles into the wash instead of throwing out a paper towel dirtied by food.

The one area I could change is the use of paper towels to dry our hands at the sink- I could leave a dishtowel there that gets used for hand drying.

I’d appreciate suggestions for how your house handles this. Thanks. [/quote]
