I try to get my lot to use kitchen towel for messy stuff and t towels just for drying up but its like talking to brick walls here so I stick mine on a 90 wash usually too

So glad I'm not the only one who feels like I am talking to myself! :rotfl:

I have a bucket with a spot of bleach in (very dilute, or it rots the fabric). In go tea towels, dish cloths, white face towels and flannels etc.
Then I "boil" wash (95 C on my machine). I used to do it overnight so the electricity was cheap, but now as I have solar heating, I do it during the day.

And actually, I think it makes sense to use these sort of cloths for everything. When I am cooking, I tuck one in my apron and use it for hot stuff, wiping over etc. then fling it in the bucket.
Washing up = dish cloth & proper tea towel, but they all go in the same wash.

Thank you, I will try this and see how I get on :T

That's a good thing. Otherwise I would have to disturb the spider web from around the ironing board. That is one mean spider! :eek:
