“Family cloths” reusable toilet wipes: gross or great?

Pros:

They’re reusable and eco-friendly

They can be made from old sheets and t-shirts, so no purchase is necessary

Using them reduces water waste/pollution from the paper industry

No trees get chopped down to create them

They can last for years before being replaced

They’re softer and more gentle on skin

Cons:

There’s that “ick” factor, and it’s a significant one

Textural differences might be an issue (both clean and soiled)

If dropped in the bowl, they have to be fished out so they don’t clog anything

They need frequent laundering

Not all stains will disappear in the wash, so they’ll get manky-looking over time

Cross-contamination in case of yeast infections or illness if not washed properly
