Tea Towels

Mine are all a bit grey, we tend to bung them into the washing machine as we've used them and then they get washed with whatever goes in next (except whites), so they eventually end up with some jeans or something else dark and go grey/muddy.

Anyway, I was thinking about buying a full set of new ones before Christmas, and I want to avoid this happening again.

So what's the answer? What do you do?

Do I need to find somewhere to hang them to dry and then put them to the wash, to go in with a suitable load? DH will think I've lost the plot.

Can you buy dark-ish ones?

What colours your kitchen?

ChristmasTrolleyRage · 19/12/2010 22:53

ffs

What colour is your kitchen?

Pine Cupboards, cream walls, blue tiles.

I don't really fancy dark-ish ones, not sure why.

Colour catchers might work out expensive, we get through a lot of tea towels so I'd probably need to put one in almost everyload.

I think hanging them somewhere to dry might be the answer, I'll run a trial before I buy new ones and see how it goes.

if they are light, put them in with light clothes / towels or on their own.

I can't believe I just read a "ffs" on good housekeeping over tea-towel washing. Lordy.

I think the FFS was for the typo.

All my t towels are comedy souvenir ones from our travels to margate and cleethorpes

All my tea towels arel;ight coloured so I only put them in with the whites. Why can't you do that?

a. We all clicked.
b. It's a wind up.

Gotta be ;)

There's a reusable colour catcher - it's a bit like a piece of towel, so you could try that!
