Yet another housekeeping thing I fail at:D I never wash oven gloves (although I do set fire to them now and again). Tea towel get washed with everything else and if they are stained they stay stained -they're tea towels

heehee I second ThriftLady on this one!:D

I never wash my oven gloves - wouldn't want to put them in with a normal wash, as they are covered in grease and all sorts!

Tea towels - I also try to buy dark ones and haven't noticed too many stains.

My Mum told me you are not supposed to use softener on towels the other day? Confusing.

You're not supposed to use fabric conditioner on any towels, it stops them absorbing water. It also rots lycra so don't use it on swimming costumes or any other lycra stuff.

I washed with aldi-bio, before coming dirty, and hang in the sun. Also try to use kitchen towels, to keep the t.t. clean, and keep some news tea t. when i have visitors

How do you keep them clean? Do you wash them if so how?


what other items do you wash them with?

I put them in the washing machine, usually when I am doing towels and tea towels, on a hot wash.

I just chuck mine in with the tea towels, and wash as normal.

I leave mine hanging on the hook and use the tea towel instead :rotfl:

I've bought the silicone ones so they just go in the washing up bowl when they get grubby. I find the fabric ones lose their padding and heat proofing when you wash them.
