Generally, you should wash tea towels on their own, so you can prevent the cross-contamination of germs. In theory, you should have a separate hand towel and dish towel, but in practice most of us use one for everything. When a tea towel is in use, always hang it to allow it to dry; never leave it crumpled on the worktop. You'll receive support alerts if you ever need them, and a complimentary digital guide for selected products to get you started. The reality is that washing tea towels thoroughly and frequently is important from a food hygiene perspective.

Tea towels get wet, are used to mop up food waste, become riddled with liquids and grease, and because they’re usually damp, they can encourage mould growth. Don’t be afraid to clean your tea towels with a disinfectant cleaner/laundry sanitiser, like Dettol Antibacterial Laundry Cleanser.

Tea Towels - In The Wash How to Wash Tea Towels - In The Wash

Simply pre-treat stains first, then fill a tub/sink with warm water, pop the tea towels in (make sure you keep similar colours together), add a biological detergent to the water and wait an hour or so. This’ll limit the number of bacteria that’ll be passed around as the tea towels come into contact with various surfaces. Washing your tea towels is the only way of keeping your tea towels clean, free from germs, and hygienic. With little air circulation, damp tea towels won’t dry and will become a potential breeding ground for bacteria. If you use a tea towel to clean an area that has come into contact with raw food, say meat, wash it immediately.If you’ve knowingly mopped up something that’ll stain your tea towel, the best thing to do is to immediately spot treat the stain with a stain remover, or pre-soak the tea towel in a bowl with a stain remover such as Vanish Oxi Action before washing with a biological detergent.
