A housewifery question re tea towels

Oh no! Feel free!

Aaaaahhhh we were only just getting going jingle

I wash everything at 40. Only things I separate are DH work clothes. Dishcloths I soak in fairly strong bleach solution first then 'chuck em in'

Right. Thank you. The Thread need go no further.

I use loads: big family and no dishwasher. Everyone always taking a clean one when it is their turn to dry up..
I only ever wash them on 30 which I find perfectly adequate and no-one has suffered yet !

A 60° wash made my towels go cracker shaped. Label says 40. Does the detergent do the trick, without the heat.

Gorki this is really serious.

Chuck 'em in with towels, bathmats, dishcloths, floorcloths and hankies. Rarely use tea towels for their intended purpose apart from drying/polishing non-dishwasherable glasses! I have, therefore, quite a stash of reasonable looking ones and two from Cadbury World on the wall!

I use an amazing amount of dishcloths though - probably 2/3 per day and they must be cotton!

Chuck them in with towels on a hot wash. Very few things need to be boiled!

I also do the Stuff it all in together method but only the "better ones" go on the line

I definitley use the "chuck it in" method jingle I do loads of washing and simply don't have the time to clart on with seperate loads for this and that. My sister washes all her undies by hand (what?) too much time on her hands that's what I say.

I do them with the bathroom towels, not a boil wash, but usually 60 degrees or 50.

I just chuck them in. Never thought of doing anything different.

An odd sort of question. Is it serious or a set-up?
