We use paper napkins, but very few paper towels. I buy the big bundle of white washcloths at Costco. The new ones are used for dishcloths and counter cleaning. As they get older and stained, they become cloths for wiping up floor messes. Eventually they become care wash rags.

We use towels for drying dishes or pots. I don't put pots and bakeware in the dishwasher. We use Bounty papertowels for everything else. DH can not believe how many papertowels we go through. He buys the huge size at BJ's. He been trying for years to cut us back. I find them more sanitary.

I have a few paper napkins around home but use cloth napkins, rags and hand towels for everything else. Really, nothing unsanitary about it when I wash my hands with soap and washer and wipe them on a towel - clean. If I use cleaning supplies and rags then I put the dirty rag right into the wash.

I only use paper towels for draining the grease off food. I use cloth napkins and towels for every thing else.

I haven't bought paper towels in thee years. That's how long my late DH has been gone. I use cloth napkins, cloth rags for cleaning, microfiber or newspapers for windows & newspaper for draining grease from food. The inside sections are every bit as sanitary as paper towels because of the heat used in the printing process. I also dry off chicken with old hand towels, soak them in a bit of vinegar & water & throw them in the wash. I'm very rarely sick, so it works for me.
