    I use rags to clean up messes instead of paper towels. No reason to buy unnecessary things because capitalism says I need to throw away something dirty. Just throw them in the wash

      Yes, they are soooo convinient
      I have them flying everywhere around the house to be picked up when i need them (i am just a mess)
      I never am concerned about wasting ressources/using them sparingly compared to paper ones where there needs at least one braincell to know how much we have left and if i need to get more. Also they dont rip apart when soaking a puddle.

      I dont know if at this point in time i saved money by having (more expensive?) washable ones but the disposeable ones i would have only been used in emergencies.
      The convinience was definetly worth it! (yes, i try to sell the idea of reusable towels to the reader)

      Wait. You think a washing machine isn’t deeply consumerist? Oohboy. That’s a conversation.
