Dirty cloth storage

Possibly the most boring post ever written, however…

I was just wondering what others do with their cleaning cloths after using them, and before there are enough for a full washing load.

For example, when you’ve cleaned the bathroom, and you’re left with a wet, dirty cloth. Where does that go?

Or after having wiped down all the kitchen surfaces last thing in the evening. Where does that cloth get put?!

I don’t like putting them in the wash together with bedlinen or clothing, so I usually wait until I have enough cloths for a load and then I can put them on a fairly hot wash.

But where do they go in the meantime? Does anyone else have this issue and have they come up with any original or creative ideas?!

I used to use a drawstring bag which would get wet and dirty, and then I washed it together with the cloths. But it was an eyesore in the kitchen.

I realise this is utterly a non issue and there are bigger things in the world to worry about. But every time I use a cloth, I face this conundrum, and it niggles at me.

Please someone tell me they have a good solution!

@StarfishDish I’ll look that up now, thanks!

And thanks to everyone else for their input. I have “upgraded” currently from my damp cotton bag to an open plastic gorilla bucket type thing. But I still feel there must be a better way out there so the search continues… Wink
