Gee, what a miraculous invention! /s
I think we have gotten a bit ridiculous here people. If you want to replace 17 rolls of paper towels, then just use your dish cloth. You can throw it in the laundry and keep using it over and over again and save even more trees.

Also, when it comes to carbon footprint, paper towels are better than rinsing a rag with warm water.

What if that water is warmed with solar power?

Fabricate chain saw, run with oil & gas, vehicles to cut, trim, bring wood to factory, process pulp to make paper towels, package in plastic

Or, make a cloth you can use over and over and over again, heat a bit of water and run a pump. I disagree with your statement.

You included the overhead of a paper towel but not the cloth.
noReallyIamPrincessBob
True, but the paper towel consumption per cloth is staggering. The cloth is made once, so negligible in comparison.

Okay, sorry, I guess I was wrong, I think it was about water consumption:
