When did paper towels replace wash cloths?

So apparently I missed the revolution and now you're supposed to clean with paper towels and throw them away (using like 1/2 a roll for every room) and not use wash cloths to clean?
When did this occur?
Was I living under a rock when people used wash cloths or am I living under a rock now and people didn't replace them with paper towels?
This is like some Mandela Effect shite

Not in my house. We still use dish towels.

You're a bit of a shithead on the M/TV board, but on this I agree with you.
Buy some bar towels for your kitchen and quit wasting paper!

Good question...was hoping to wean our family off paper towels, but we are hooked.

Does someone have a gun to your head?

You like doing laundry? I don't.
Mind your own business.

Wash cloths are probably seen as spreading bacteria whereas paper towels are disposable.

What? I use paper towels for small clean ups. Otherwise I use wash cloths.

I seriously have no idea how some of you people can even manage to get out of bed every morning and function on your own.

i mean there is a time and a place for paper towels
small spills
drying off contagious items (like bacteria-carrying food)
wiping contagious areas
but for just normal cleaning? it's a huge waste

Wash cloths in a kitchen are gross
It grosses me out when people wipe their hands while cooking then wipe up a spill on the counter then dry a dish all with the same rag

Trees are a very renewable resource and properly harvested/replanted by all the US companies who make papertowels. They are more sanitary than a dishtowel after one use. Do it.

that's cross contamination for sure
but using it to wipe your hands or a spot isn't a big deal
dishes should be dried with a clean, dry towel though

Gross.
I’m using some of the nice, heavy duty paper towels for the kitchen to avoid cross-contamination. I still dry my hands off with a kitchen towel.
I’ll also use some of the same heavy duty paper towels when cleaning the bathroom. Elsewhere a wash rag should be good though.

I tried them but they disintegrate and clog the shower drain.

We probably have 100 cloth/towels/etc. in our house
Apparently 98 of them are decorative
So we use paper towels

Not gross. I drop 4-5 of them in with the whites every week.
Nasty stuff, sure use paper towels. Everything else, bar towels and put them in the wash every 1-2 days.

if you're not actively handling raw meat, what kind of cross contamination are you worried about?
y'all make it sound like you're running a biological lab in your kitchen
