I practice what I preach

No paper towels...No problems
I haven't used them in years (I have posted this topic before)
I have a rag basket in the kitchen 
Again, Cloth Diapers are great, old wash cloths, cut up old towels and t-shirts 

Stack of rags on left.  Cloth napkins and gym clothes

I launder with the hubby's gym clothes, so all sanitized
I keep them in a basket on kitchen counter

And dirty ones go in basket next to recycling

Here is a picture of my clean napkins and rags to be put away
