Dirty cleaning cloths

[wherever123]

What do you do with them when they’re dirty? I have dirty cloths every day - I don’t want to put them in with my regular clothes wash and it takes ages to have enough to do a wash of just cloths - but where do they stay in the meantime? I use disposable kitchen towels too much because of this.

I just soak them in a bucket with some disinfectant, rinse and leave to dry. I had read microfibre cloths shouldn’t be washed with clothes.

Same as this.

I have a rail in the utility room with one of those octopussy hangers. I hang them there to dry and then chuck them in with the towels or bedding at 60 degrees.

How wasteful. I don't think anyone does this...apart from you.

I pop used cloths and tea towels to soak in a bowl with a Milton tablet before washing them with towels. I change my dishcloth daily, sometimes multiple per day depending on if I’ve been cleaning so they get washed a lot,

I dont use fabric conditioner anyway. Never understood what it was for. And they are fine at 40.

I've started following Nancy Birtwhistle's advice on greener cleaning.
She "boil washes" her kitchen cloths in a bowl of green bleach in the microwave. Do it last thing at night, so you can leave it in, and then in the morning rinse out and you have a clean cloth for the day.
