Tea towels

Just put a load of washing into the machine and thought about the tea towels. I like to wash these separately on a 90 degree wash - my daughter had a cleaning lady before we moved to Telford and she would put them in with the general washing. What do other Gransnetters do? I don't actually dry many dishes with the tea towels, they get used to hold hot pans and dishes and mop up spills mainly!

jingl the logic is simple.
If a washing cycle/ detergent combination removes bacteria and viruses and effectively washes knickers, it will do the same for tea towels.
Not that there are many, if any, pathological bacteria lurking in most people's knickers or tea towels anyway.

We don't dry dishes, they sit in the dishwasher and we unload when dry ... and things that don't go in the dishwasher dry on the rack. Dish towels are used to dry our hands and any spillage, and get flung in with the rest of the wash. Do most stuff at 30-40' and as has been said, haven't died yet!!!
