My partner switched us to reusable paper towels. The problem is that he uses up to 10 a day and leaves them in wet piles in the sink and all over the counters. At any given time there are damp, food-covered towels sitting around the kitchen.

I find it absolutely disgusting. It looks messy, smells gross, and makes the kitchen feel dirty. I literally can’t stand being in the kitchen when they’re there, so every day I end up gathering five or six at a time, rinsing them out, and hanging them in my shower or outside on our patio to dry.

I’ve suggested rinsing them out and hanging them up, or even putting them in a designated bin, but he refuses and insists on leaving them in wet piles because he says he washes them every day.

Am I overreacting, or would most people also find piles of wet reusable towels sitting around the kitchen pretty gross?
