Washing knickers and tea towels together

[sirmione16]

Who REALLY separates their undies from towels in the wash am I and everyone I know grubby ?! I feel this is a waste of water, electricity, time and money!

(Video is Lynsey on This Morning telling us we should make sure our bras are clipped together and separate them from towels before we wash) I wanna know how she has the time.

Generally towels go in separately to clothes simply because they go on a different setting. But if I use a tea towel, wipe a spill, whatever, I’ll often just throw it in the machine and it’ll go round with whatever the next wash is.

All my knickers are a dark colour i put them in with the dark wash

GeneralMelchettsProject are you always this rude?

Life's too short (and don't want to waste water/electric)......all in together here (underwear, tea towels, colours, whites) at 40'C. Very, very occasionally do a separate towel wash.

These threads always remind me of 1950’s women judging the state of their neighbours front step. It’s a bit depressing really.

For the record, darks, lights, towels, bedding. Tea towels get chucked in the machine when they are dirty and washed with whatever is in the next load.

I've never even thought about it. Is this one of those things that people do partly because they enjoy feeling REALLY superior about it?

Hmm, maybe I should stop using my unwashed knickers to give the kitchen worktops a wipe before chucking them in the washing machine.

Or at least, not using the gusset side.

I'm reading this and I realised I don't actually own any tea towels....I mean what are they for?

Womble no please don't stop doing that it turns me on!

M3 they are only meant for wiping up meaningless shit! Oh hello!

I’m thinking tea towels probably have way more nasty bacteria on them than underwear ?

M3 get yourself home!! We miss you!

I do have an oven ....er what do you call something that has two lots for your hands but is joined in the middle? I want to say muff...but that might be all the knicker talk making me confused.

Anyway Its only repeated exposure to 200 degree plus temperatures that's keeping that thing sterile....

Eww WTF!

It’s not hard to separate your laundry.
For a start, towels lose absorbency if you use fabric softener on them because it coats the fibres.

I do;
Whites
Light colours
Dark colours
Darks
Towels / tea towels
Bedding

To those worried about bacteria - you are a walking bag of bacteria - there’s more bacterial cells in your body than human cells - get over it!

It’s definitely an oven muff M3. Definitely.

I tend to be, yes Thigh I take it wearing pants on your head is frowned upon?

Yuck yuck yuck

Proj is it unhygienic to put your knickers in your hostage's mouth just to keep them quiet until you can replace with masking tape?

I chuck tea towels in with normal bath towels. But tbh wouldnt care if knickers and tea towel mixed. I bet if u swabed both the tea towel would be dirtier so it's the knickers who should be offended.

I think it’s ok as long as you obey the three second rule Dangly

Halo I agree, and my knickers have confirmed they are offended just by talking about it!

I just make sure I wear the family pair of knickers first.

Sorry but I find the idea of washing underwear and tea towels together totally grim
