Mouldy towels - yuck!

goonlord · 2006-10-30 15:33:35

In this colder weather I find that towels in the bathroom are tending to get flecked with mould (even though they are washed regularly!) and that this doesn't come out on a normal 40 degree wash. I'm loathe to start washing things at 60 so do you have any suggestions on how I can get rid of the mould otherwise? Thanks in…

OH is always saying i should wash his jeans at 90 deg but i always fib and say i have even tho they're done at 40 !!!:rotfl:

Of course it costs more to heat it to 60C, but I think I'd spend the extra few pence for germ free towels, sheets and underwear.

And you really shouldn't wash his jeans at 90C. :eek:
