At what temperature do you wash towels?

I wash everything at 30 on a 30 minute cycle. Have been doing for years, still alive, hardly ever ill. Single person household.

My fast wash is 30 degrees for 35 mins.


Like you, still not dead.

Towels, bedding, cleaning cloths and DH clothes at 60 (DH gets oily at work). Everyone else's clothes at 30.

People wash towels separately? Most of my clothes require no more than 40 so my towels never get washed above that, usually at 30...

I mostly wash mine at 30 but every so often( literally every few months or so) I do them at 60
And yes I wash my towels separately - but with 3 of us the bath towels, hand towels etc it's a full wash every time.

We wash household linen at 60, everything else at 30 but with napisan. We have a shared washing machine and run it first on a short hot wash empty to clean out other peoples detergents and lingering 'stuff'!
Clothes used for gardening etc are spot treated and / or soaked overnight then washed.
Every month I boil the cleaning cloths.

I always have at least a couple of towel loads in the wash every week.

System

60 degrees here, along with bed linen and underwear (other than my bras which get washed on a 15 minute cycle).

I normally do one load which is towels and bedding, and a spearate one which is clothes. I wash the towels nad bedding at 60 because I am asthmatic and sensitve to house dust mites, and 60 is recommended as below that mites can survive.

For the amount fo washing I do, beding + towels makes up a load, and it is simple as I know that the towels can be washed at that temp. whereas ith clothes some are not suitable. I would also have any teatowels, table clothes and napkins in that wash.

I usually do a 40 degree wash for clothing and would have no issue with putting towels in with the clothes if I happened to have space and to have tpwels which needed washing.

I tend to separate the whites from colours/darks in preference to towels/bedding and clothes. Each to their own I guess!

40 for everything, never had any issues
