Our suggestion is at least five. To change every second day, to have a spare on wash day, and an emergency for when you really give the one in your kitchen a hard run.
Kitchen towels are amongst the dampest, warmest and most used textiles in your house. It’s abundantly clear that they are the perfect environment for bacteria to grow and fester, and need some special treatment as part of your wash routine.
So throw your kitchen towel into the washing pile every day or second day.
Dry your kitchen towel completely between every use as a good rule of thumb.
Having a designated dish-drying tea towel, and a designated hand or bench drying tea towel is another great option to avoid germs in the kitchen.
If you think you need to increase the number of kitchen towels in your home, or would like a change of style or colour to your current collection, come and see us on Thursday at the Women’s Shed Shop.
We have microfibre towels with cotton tops and a cotton decorative edge and we have 100%cotton towels with 100% cotton tops for sale.
