How do you drain tofu without paper towels?

Chef's answer
Is there a less wasteful method of pressing tofu than using paper towels? Yes, you can use a muslin cloth, cheesecloth, or kitchen towels instead of paper towels. I've also re-used the same paper towels to press tofu (I squeeze out the extra water and lay them flat to dry out).
