My daughter is horrified every time she comes for a visit. Right there draped on the edge of the kitchen sink is the dreaded dish cloth.Growing up we called them dish rags. For generations we all had dish rags. I wash the dishes with it,wipe off the kitchen table,wipe out the microwave, toaster. Clean up the counter top and stove top. Wash it out thoroughly and let it dry over night. Through the week I might use a bit of bleach on it and throw it in the wash every week. I never ever use it to clean up after cutting meat,chicken,eggs or anything like that.. A few years back they came out with little disposable ones. I tried them but went back to my good old dish rag. MY daughter thinks it is very unsanitary and in her own home she used tons of paper towels and keeps the Windex people in business. Am I that old fashioned and at risk of dying at any moment because of my dish rag?
