Found wet towels outside

[Featherpink]

I found wet towels outside in my yard. Probably there for nearly a week.

Any idea what is the best way to wash them?

Would a 40 degree wash do or should I put it on a hotter wash and longer cycle?

Or should I trash them?

Shake them a bit to get rid of any slugs then in washing machine at 40.

90 degrees long circle.

Bio doesn't make any difference above 40C, anyhow, as the heat dentures the enzymes.

Just wash at 60 with a pre-wash and see how they come out.

Nothing over 30 here. I'd be washing all day at 40 or 90

50 replies and no mention of spider Willies?

Our washing machine has a hygiene setting/soiled setting. I think it depends on your machine.

Minus 2 tonight, bad for spiders - good for towels.

No point in using bio detergent on a 90° wash. The heat kills the bio enzymes.

I put them on a quick cold wash for 20 mins followed by a 2 hour 75 degree wash.

they’ve also been darked on

I'm invested in these towels. How did they come out? Hope the hot wash did the job

Personally, I think you should don a full hazmat suit and incinerate them with a flamethrower.

Then bleach the ashes.

I had to do two loads. There were just two many towels. I did one load last night. Another load on now. The first load came out looking and smelling clean. I am paranoid about mold and mold spores embedded in towels and stuff.

60 degrees with detergent and stain remover should do it
If they're stained and it bothers you, use for floor cloths( or dog towels as I do!)

I'd happily wash and reuse them 😄

Glad they came out clean

Yay for the towels! I reckon they're fine now
