I use a Dobie for any hand dish/pot scrubbing. I use paper towels for
cleaning surfaces... I have cotton and linen kitchen towels but I
don't use them for cleaning, I use old/threadbare bath towels to sop
up spills. I don't own any sponges except for two large natural sea
sponges; one to wash the car, one in the tub/shower to scrub me.
