Do you wash towels separately in their own load?

[JacknDiane]

I've always bunged them in with the rest of the washing, am I doing it wrong?

I wash separately as wash them at a higher temperature. Plus, they’re bulky.

Same.

Nope … don’t know why you would need to

Separate hotter wash.

Yes, because I do them on 60c and also because all our towels and dishcloths make a full load.

good lord no…60degree wash with pretty much everything else.

Really I'd like to do them in their own hot wash, no conditioner and then tumble dried. But I don't always have enough so they go in with the main wash sometimes (no conditioner when they're in) and I 'treat myself' when I have enough for a load. Cause I'm cool like that.

Yes but only because there are two of us so I do all bath/hand etc towels together rather than on a more ad hoc basis (in which case I'd bung then in as needed). We aren't so dirty as to require the daily hot wash the MN loons favour.

Separate hotter wash like PP

No, not separately.

I do them separately with bed sheets and tea towels etc on a hot wash.

I do, because I like to wash them on 60 instead of the usual 40 and also they get quite heavy and our washing machine is sensitive and can't cope with heavy loads and gets stuck on spin indefinitely so if I put other stuff in as well it tips the machine over the edge!

Yes as hotter wash, but put tea towels, pillow cases and underwear in with them too.

I only separate by colours, so anything pale goes in together, darks go in together and also brights go in together - I have some red, purple and dark pink items.

Yes in a separate hotter wash like a lot of previous posters. I tend to do most clothes on a Delicates cycle at 30. Three of us in the house so two towels/teatowels/dishcloth washes a week,

Not usually but there is enough for a whole load of them.

No, Mine are all white and I put them in with my whites on a 40 long cotton wash with biological powder. They come out perfectly clean.

Yes, always separately from clothes. In a towel wash I only put towels, tea towels and cloths. Wash at 60.

all towels go in with bathmats and dishcloths here. 60 degree wash with no fabric conditioner.

Our towels, bath mats and my towelling robe, tea towels and dishcloths make up one load. Washed at 60° no fabric conditioner.

I wash them in with the other stuff that I don't use conditioner on like my little one's bed mats.

Separate as need to be hotter 60C and need to have no fabric conditioner as that affects the absorbency.

Depends. If I have a full towel load. They go on at 60. If not, random towels go in with the general wash at 40.

Never used fabric conditioner. So not an issue in that regard.

You wash everything at 60?

Sometimes, if the other items require 60C then they can go in with the towels. I don't use fabric conditioner at all.
