How often do you change your tea towel ?

[GoodnightGrandma]

I change mine every day because I dry the dog bowls with it, then chuck it in the washing machine.

I don't really use them but if I had dog bowls I would use kitchen towel to dry.

when they are wet/dirty

These threads make me realise why SE Water said we use 40% less water than an average family of four 🤣

I just have a big bunch in the drawer and grab one or another when I need to do something. I stick them in the wash if they're very damp or look dirty

If they get wet or daily whichever comes first. There are always loads going through my wash.

Once a week? We barely use them though, separate towel for hands, oven gloves, cloths for wiping sides, dishwasher etc. Tea towel only used to occasionally dry something I want to use again like a knife.

usually when it walks to the washing machine because it's ashamed of being so filthy. I tend to only use tea towels to grab things from the oven - I don't think I've ever dried anything with one.

I use two a day and they both go in the washing machine in the evening along with the dishcloth that I’ve used that day.

Ha ha and there was me thinking I was really good and super hygienic because I change mine once a week!

Yes, quite, me too!

Daily.

About every 4 or 5 days but I don't use them for proper drying just mopping if stuff is a bit damp from dishwasher. In the caravan where we wash up properly a teatowel does 2 or 3 washing ups usually.

Best to stand well back now - the very nice ladies are starting to get competitive

Good lord! Maybe once a month!

We have a fairly new consumer unit, I didn't know there was a sticker on it, I must have a look, it is in a small low cupboard though so probably hard to spot.

Sorry wrong thread😳

Daily

When the washing machine is going on, which is usually every other day, we chuck the tea towel, hand towel and kitchen cloth in too.

Countless we have tea towels, hand towels and often a muslin on the go. If the toddler gets hold of it it's probably going in the wash, if I'm cooking with her a towel gets nominated as the gross towel for her to wipe her eggy/sticky/greasy hands on.

Oh and that get washed with e cloth nappies

You'd need two machines on the go constantly to keep up!
