Washing cleaning cloths

[dinmin]

We have separate cleaning cloths for kitchen and bathroom/floors. I used to wash these in two separate loads but feel like it’s a waste of time, energy and water as neither load is full (even if I put tea towels in with kitchen and dog blankets with bathroom/floors). I wash on 60 with bio liquid and dettol laundry liquid. Do others wash their cloths separately or chuck them in together? Ta!

All cloths in together on 60. No need for dettol at that temperature and no need to worry about whether they’ve touched a floor. I don’t really think my floors are specifically dirty anyway…but I digress.

I don’t wash them with anything else but only because every time I’ve tried they’ve made something bobbly. Maybe it’s because of the texture of microfibre. Who knows.

I don’t wash them with towels as they’re brightly coloured and I’m a bit mad about my white towels since my bedding dyed one blue! But I would.

What on earth is all this 'floor cleaning cloths' does nobody use a mop anymore?

As for all other cloths the get put in with the rest of the wash as pp said they go in dirty and come out clean

bathroom cleaning cloths and rugs go in one load. Kitchen cleaning cloths in a separate load. The thought of anything mixing with kitchen stuff grosses me out.

I wash all cleaning cloths together and the mop head on a quick 30 min cycle. Never ever with clothes

What cloths do people use to clean floors?

Why not use a mop? That would solve your issue, no...?

What am I missing?

I wash all clothes at 60 or 90, together with the towels. 60 is hot enough to kill off germs.

I use a spray mop with a washable pad/ cloth thing.
But i wash cleaning cloths with everything else.

Open door - chuck stuff that’s dirty into washing machine. When full - switch on at quickest programme possible plus an extra spin.
No messing about everything comes out clean. Throw at clothes horse outside, retrieve when dry and reuse or wear. Nothing sorted and no time wasted. No one’s died in 30 years of doing this, nor in the previous 20 years of using a twin tub- where literally everything uses the same water until everything is washed for the entire weeks wash loads.

Ok not technically a “cloth” but steam mop pad / cover thingies!

I throw them in with everything else

I wash coloured clothes (at 40) separately from whites, which get 60. Whites include school shirts, nighties/white pants and the occasional very pale tea towel. Colours therefore include: clothing, bathmats and towels, tea towels, the odd cleaning cloth (as long as it's not been used with anything bleachy, otherwise I soak those and give them a pre-wash before adding anything else).

Nobody has died, nothing isn't clean. Do people honestly schedule their lives around organising separate washes for: towels; tea towels; cleaning cloths; clothing? You'd never be done and ideally would have two machines running at once.
