I use white towels to clean and they get wet and dirty. Is it best to keep them wet prior to laundering them?

Question

Currently I leave the towels to dry out until get enough for a full load. I was wondering if it is better to keep them wet until laundering - though it may be a bit foul by then.

Answer 1

KEEPING YOUR CLEANING TOWELS WET AFTER CLEANING IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. MOISTURE IS A GROWING FIELD FOR BACTERIA AND MILDEW.NASTY.AND THE ODOR.I WILL SUGGEST YOU SOAK THE TOWELS IN A SINK FULL OF HOT WATER AND BLEACH.UNTIL TOWELS ARE BACK WHITE.THEN HANG TO DRY.GOOD CLEANING.

Answer 2

Let the towels dry out & then wash them in hot water when you have a full load OR for a day or so, soak the towels in a bucket of hot water & a little bit of bleach & laundry detergent. It'll keep the odor down, & they'll come out cleaner when you wash them.

Answer 3

I use white towels too. If they stay damp, they get mildewed, and often bleach won't remove the mildew in one go. My solution isn't environmentally friendly: I wash them more often, not waiting for a ful load. And I use bleach every time. I'm hoping that's still better than using paper towels.

Answer 4

instead of creating use of the towel to dry the bathe stall, purchase a squeegee. It does a similar job, may be kept in the bathe on a suction cup, and may nicely be offered for a small volume of money. There are particular ones made for the bathe. Or...you may basically spray down your bathe with Tilex on a daily basis bathe spray and that's going to quit the recognizing and strengthen. each each now and then FlyLady isn't functional.

Answer 5

It's not necessary to keep them wet. Launder with hot water and bleach.

Answer 6

Dry them

Answer 7

They will also attract mold and mildew. Let them dry if it will be a while before you wash again.

Answer 8

air dry them, it prevents mildew, heat from a dryer can set the stain in

Answer 9

If you get them that dirty shouldn't you buy black towels?
