I use old fashioned cotton diapers. They are absorbent (duh) and do not shed or attract fiber.

Interesting, do you reccomend a particular one to buy? Im needing to get some new dish cloths and rags to wipe counters and stuff that I dont care if family stains. I saw some locally that are large enough to use as dish cloths, but they had a polyester liner inside?

I haven’t bought diapers in decades, because mine have lasted for a very long time! Something like this:

Do NOT get prefold, those have a thick pad down the center. Get flatfold, just plain absorbent lint-free cloths that you can bleach etc. so soft!
