Anything made from trees or plants (paper towels, cotton cloths) will have abrasive elements in them. They can be very fine and imperceptable to us, but they are there and over time will damage your lenses. While glass is very hard, and generally resistive to minor scratching, the coatings on your elements are not as hard or durable, and are susceptible to harsh cleaners (windex) or organic-based cloths. I good microfiber towel is all you should ever need.
