Boring one… do you have separate tea towels / hand towels in the kitchen?

[fulltimeparttime]

We need a better system in our house as we’re getting through too many tea towels and I’m sick of washing them so frequently.

What system do you have in your kitchen?

We don’t have a downstairs WC so use the kitchen sink often for hand washing. We use tea towels for all sorts, drying hands, wiping up spills, drying up the pots that don’t go in the dishwasher, taking dishes out the oven. I’m sick of them having so many uses and want to buy some separate hand towels but would like to know what other people do for all of the above.

Thank you!

Ha yes the dreaded mug bottom puddles and Tupperware droplets

Why are so many of you washing a tea towel every day, ie putting it to be washed after only a days use. This is complete overkill.

tea cloths and a hand towel kept separate. I cringe at the thought of my dh coming in from the garden and washing then drying his hands on a tea cloth. Also best to wipe down surfaces with perhaps a micro cloth or something similar kept by the sink. The tea cloth should be kept for drying crockery and utensils.
