to want to redo it or am I too fussy

[advance01]

Dh has put some washing on whilst I was in hospital. All good. However, have just unloaded it to find pants,socks, towels, tea towels and ordinary clothes have been washed together.AIBU to want to rewash the towels and teatowels.

Reading this thread...demonstrates why you only want to accept a cuppa at the friend's who know the tea towel rule-otherwise their cups have been dried with a tea towel that has had a possibly intimate encounter with their husband's underpants.

In my household doubtless both - my dss wipe their noses on the hand towels so I wouldn't put a bit of anal flossing with a tea towel past them

Words fail me..... Not a thing I often say!

whendotheyleave - anal flossing, crying again!

sorry - my last comment was in response to matesnotdates - am new to this mumsnet chat lark and didn't realise the speed of chat- but will have to nip my newfound addiction in the bud so I have enough time to boil tea towels.

Perhaps we should all just use disposable tea towels... infact am now seriously considering giving my boys disposable paper pants...that would sort out a shitload of problems (quite literally)

matesnotdates check out www.helpfulhumour.com I think it might make you giggle - I think we share the same sense of humour

This thread is hilarious

whendotheyleave - well that sorts my evening out then, am loving that site already....thank you

Nighty night all. This thread has really made my day you lovely people

Sleep tight, don't let the bum germs bite

Night night whendotheyleave, and thank you for my new fave pharse - anal flossing. With a tea towel. xx

If you iron your tea towels does that kill all the bum germs? (hopes it does).

Lorna - prepare for the backlash over ironing tea towels, I think we're a rare breed on MN!!

raises hand I would OP. Also because my dp would have left the clothes in the washer for days

YY to separating tea towels from the bum germs.

YY to closing duvet covers!

I will wash bedding with tea towels and dishcloths at 60. Everything else at 40. Except handwash and wool, they go in a pillowcase on a delicate wash.

You scruffy lot.

Iron away, friends. I won't judge you

Who the frig irons anything other than linen pants??

Sorry if this has been said, but

BUM germs - unless you use a non biological powder, then the enzymes in your washing powder eats the germs at 30 degrees, that is why the adverts all say works at 30 degrees. All germs eaten by the enzymes. If you use non bio, then you might need 60 for germs.

Never mind bum germs, what about Mini Mites!!!?

Well who'd have thought it? Quite how I've got to my advanced age without succumbing to a fatal attack of Bum Germs I cannot imagine. Especially given what I now realise is a highly dangerous approach to the washing.

It has never crossed my mind to separate tea towels or pants. I'm seeing my mum tomorrow, I'm gonna have to challenge her on why she never passed on this vital information to me.

Saying that I used to chuck in reusable nappies with other stuff too. And now she is out of nappies I use the old reusable wipes as cloths

Could someone please explain the Yakult/bum germ thing please.

I use non bio at 40 - I am CRAWLING with bum germs.

sarahstratton I wondered about that too. Are Yakult drinkers bum germ free?

Yakult drinkers have beneficial bum germs.

^ best sentence ever! It should be their new tagline.

Op no you are not bu. I hate washing things together. Every time I do I wash ATM I hate it as just cannot afford to split it out how I would like too. Feels like I am going against a really strong person value, anyone would think I was stealing or something.
