How to get tea towels sparkling clean

[Starfish83]

Good morning all!

Just wondering the best way to get my tea towels sparkling clean? I tend to wash most things, usually apart from bedding and towels, on a low temperature quick wash, but my tea towels of course get quite stained from everyday use. Do I need to put them on a super hot long wash? Or wash them in a particular detergent? Or use some miracle product? If it makes any difference at all, they're John Lewis classic red and white checked tea towels.

Thank you! 😊

Sew sequins on to them.

Alternatively a very hot wash with some laundry bleach.

Yes sequins, or maybe some sparkly thread embroidered into the checks?

Soak them in stain remover overnight (doesn't matter which! They all work the same), and then put straight into washing machine on the hottest wash with white vinegar in the fabric conditioner compartment to keep them soft.

Soak them in vanish and washing up liquid overnight then a normal wash with vanish works for almost anything for me
