Kitchen etiquette

Dish rag. Warsh rag.
No such thing as paper towels back then.

Petri rags. They don't smell the way they do after a day or two for nothing.

Nylon brush, or paper towels here.

Did y’all not have a washing machine?

I don’t know what it is about women that makes them leave wet dish rags in the sink but it seems to be a universal trait. It’s drives me absolutely insane. Those things start to stink after a few hours and I see red every the I see a wet rag in the sink.

I’ve found that paper towels do a slightly better just of cleaning granite surfaces.

I’m a poor so I’d prefer wash cloths.

Grew up with a dish rag.

Now we have paper towels handy, but I use a hand towel for a day or two at a time to dry hands, and use for larger emergency spills.

Clorox wipes for the counters.

Couple of scrubbing options for the kitchen sink.

Growing up we had both. Dish rags for drying dishes (when we didn't use the dishwasher), paper towels for spills and such. Dish towels were tossed in the laundry after a week unless they got dirty or started hinting at mildew.

For wiping counters down, soapy but wrung out dish rag, followed by damp paper towel to wipe up the soapy water, then another paper towel to dry.

In my kitchen we do pretty much the same thing, except for counter cleaning we've moved to the Clorox wipes.

Rookie numbers. I'm certain we double that or more.
