Gary, we had this discusion about you putting things pretty much clean in your dishwasher(s), which causes me to reach for the oxygen mask. This was the 2nd appliance issue I thought of when I found out you & Toggles ... Cuz I know he won't rinse a thing!! Buddy, get with the program. You don't have 1950s dishwashers, you have modern 1970s & 1980s dishwashers that clean like the beez kneez.
I"ve used cloth for napkins since college in the early 1970s, in fact Mom had started befoer then. But, for our casual everyday eating, she'd always get some nice looking (wash rags) and they'd be used. Yup, it just adds a little ibt more to the laundry. AND, btw, I use a discloth 99% of the time to dry my hands and at the end of the day wip up stuff. A dish rag is used for wiping up spills while cooking and prepping & gets put in the laundry at the end of the day. I can literally keep using one roll of paper towels for up to a yar or more because, as mom taught me, you can wash towels, but ya can't wash a paper towel and reuse it!!! This was engrained into me by age 10. I bought like 6 or 8 rolls of Brawny back in 2001 because of aging dog issues (the patterns were beign closed out and I got them for like 2/$1). Anyway, I still have5 rolls from that purchase!!!
