Tea towels - how do you wash yours?

[TyneTeas]

Do people wash them separately or stick them in with an ordinary wash?

I always do mine separately, but it means they are hanging around until I have a few to do.

I'm not sure whether everyone segregates things that go on bodies from things that go on things that food goes on or if I am being a bit ridiculous...

Harsh...but you're being ridiculous! I bung mine in with any wash.

I stick them in with everything else. I’d be waiting a long time for a full load of tea towels!

Mine are done daily & just get chucked in with a normal 30°c wash. We have a dishwasher so very little drying up, if that makes any difference (tend to use it in place of an oven glove).

I usually wash them with the towels, or a wash on their own but we have and use absolutely loads.

With normal clothes. Sometimes if they are manky I do them with bedding and towels on 60.

I put them in a load with towels and flannels, at 60 degrees.

Just in with the normal wash. It all comes out clean at the end so I’m not sure it really matters what kind of mess/dirt/food is on any of the items that are going in.

Sling them in with everything else. I don't often actually use them to dry plates though, more to pick up hot things.

I just chuck them in the washer as I go so they are not hanging around. Then when I put a load of washing on they just get done

With bedding and / or towels on 50/60 degree wash normally but if I just done that wash I'll bung it in with any 40 degree wash rather than leave them hanging around.

I just throw them in with every load. I do a clothes wash every 4 or 5 days and towels once a week.

Do them on a hot wash with either towels or bedding

I wash mine once a week at 60 degrees with the dish cloths, dusters and mop heads. They get a bit stinky by then though!

Separately at 60 degrees

i save them up along with dishcloths and kitchen towels. they go through on a 60 degree wash with towels flannels and bath mats and i iron my tea towels

Just bung them in if I am doing a hot wash - be that clothes, bedding, towels or whatever. Usually a mix.
It would take forever to build up a whole load just of tea towels, even if I thought that were a thing to be aware of.

Hot wash with towels

I wash everything with everything. The only exception being my nappy wash which gets rinsed by itself first before everything else including tea towels are added.

Just chuck them in with the normal wash

I usually do clothes at 30 and ordinary towels on a hotter wash. I might start bunging them in with towels...

This is my logic.

Hot wash with towels

I do a 60° wash 2x a week, so they go in with that.
