How often should you wash your tea towels daily mail

According to the Daily Mail, it's recommended to wash your tea towels regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and germs. Here are some guidelines:

• Wash your tea towels after every 3-4 uses, or:
• Wash them at least once a week, even if you don't use them that frequently.
• If you notice any visible stains, odors, or signs of wear and tear, wash them immediately.

The Daily Mail suggests that tea towels can harbor up to 10 million bacteria per square inch, which can easily spread to other surfaces and even contaminate food. Washing them regularly can help prevent the growth of bacteria and keep your kitchen clean and hygienic.

It's also a good idea to wash your tea towels in hot water (at least 60°C/140°F) and dry them on a hot setting to kill any remaining bacteria.
