Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 1)

I don’t keep a dish towel. I don’t know why I would. I keep a dish sponge, see below. There’s a spongy part and a scrubby part, and I diligently squeeze it out of water when done and lay it next to the sink and it dries. A dish towel is inherently gross as hell, a mildew and mold trap. GF keeps one, hangs it on the kitchen spout, and it’s always a bit damp and I shudder when I pick it up. Ew, ew!
