My dish towels and dish rags always get so stained and ratty, even though I wash them often.

It's because of this that I don't use them. I do use paper towels (I like the Wegman kind) I don't like using cloth over and over again drying dishes. I'd rather my dishes touch a clean surface. It's worth the money.

Amazon basics, some are more than others,several colors,they have sets,also just dish towels,dish cloths,i ordered some for mom,white set of 8 ,under $4.00 a set, look up on amazon. Saves on using paper towels ,i think, for that price can't beat that,ordered me some.

I have found Costco to be the best place by far for kitchen towels. If you look under the " while supplies last" tab they usually have many choices. They mostly come in packs of 8, and the last set I got was $6.97 for 8 really nice towels...can't beat that!

We buy the 100% cotton dish towels and cloths from Amazon. Haven't bought any in awhile because they last a long time. Bought them in dark brown and don't worry about stains with dark colors.

Will buy again if we ever need them.

I just bought a couple Ritz brand in a hardware store. They weren't cheap, but I wanted to support a small local biz. I use a lot of towels because I get a new one or two out every day. They get tired but I keep using them until they are just too bad. I try not to use paper towels unless necessary. Good tip about the Amazon/Costco towels.

Every January, I go to the Dollar Store & pick up a 10 pk (5 in each pack) dish rags for $1.00.

Each month I throw out 1 & use a new one. During the last 2 months #10 dish rag gets thrown in the dishwasher when it starts to smell sour. Now I get to use a non sour sterilized dish cloth until the new year rolls around.

Haven't seen a "dish towel" since the 60's. Don't know anyone who uses them. If I hand wash anything ~~which is rare~~, I've always let them "air dry."

What do you dry your dishes with? Each and every day a clean dish cloth and a few dish towels.

I don't use dish rags and dish cloths. Very unsanitary, you are just moving bacteria all over the kitchen.

I don't use dish rags at all and have never owned any.

I have lots of dish towels, but I be honest, I don't use them either. I always keep 2 cute ones hung over the wall oven handle, but rarely, if ever, use them.

It seems odd to me, not to use dish towels ,and cloths.

I like to use vintage China that isn't safe in a dishwasher. I don't mind hand washing, it's relaxing. I let them air dry. Dish cloths folded in half are used on the counter for the glassware and for baked cookies to cool.
