I hear a lot of people say “I don’t use toilet paper, I use [insert alternative here]” but never hear about what is used for the other things.

      Doesn’t that come with its own issues of reusage though? I think they stopped promoting ShamWow due to these.

        You just wash them as you wash clothes, what kind of issues are there?

          Some contaminants don’t wash. Certain kinds of bacteria, blood, etc. would be relatively more hazardous than, say, everyday filth. Ever hear of people complaining they can’t get the faint smokey odor off of furniture they received from people who smoked in their living rooms? My home has (for guests) a specialized smoke room for this reason (think a bathroom but just for smokers, not for people who have to use the bathroom).

            You need to buy new ones oncd in a while, if this is your everyday concern maybe just use cleenex?
