Do you wash cleaning cloths with normal laundry?

I soak dish cloths in bleach, don’t wash them. Tea towels go in a normal wash, dusters and ‘dirtier’ cleaning cloths go in a dark wash with DH’s overalls, gardening clothes etc.

I wash washing up cloths and tea towels with the ordinary washing. We all keep well. Probably a good immune system!!

I mean washing up cloths. Tea towels I tend to throw in with the bath towels.

Do you mean tea towels? Or washing up cloths? Anyway ...tea towels go in the washing machine after a soak in wash powder with bleach...Washing up cloths I soak in bleach..don’t put them in the machine.
Each to their own I suppose.

I always have. Everything goes in dirty, comes out clean is my thinking. But my daughter's just been round and saw me put a wash on and is apparently horrified. She puts a separate hot wash on for cleaning cloths. Am happy with the way I do it so not planning on changing but still curious as to what others do.
