[quote=Anonymous]This is amazingly wasteful to me.  My wife is on immuno-suppression as a transplant patient.  She catches colds from people that walk by her and the kids bring home colds from daycare and she catches everything.  And yet, we use wash clothes and sponges regularly.  We have 3 wash cloths for different purposes that just get rinsed and cleaned in the sink on a per-use basis.  We have two sponges, one for dishes and one for counters and such.  The cloths and sponges get rinsed every day.  Cloths are swapped out weekly, sponges are run through the dishwasher weekly.  And even my immuno-suppressed wife isn't catching anything unless she encounters someone with a cold.  Even I think you're overly paranoid and pretty wasteful there.  As for our wash clothes, we purchased two big 12 packs so we have a lot.  The used ones, after drying, sit in a pile on the washing machine until the next load of towels which is at least every other week, so we don't do any more laundry just for the wash cloths.[/quote]
