Some swear by using dish towels to help in saving the environment and some people have a hard time using anything but disposable to dry something. Well, the truth is, it comes down to what you feel comfortable with.

But, if you are going to use a dish towel to do your drying duties, don’t make these crucial mistakes…

Be sure to throw the used towel in the wash if it was used for drying anything other than a clean clear liquid, example freshly washed dishes. If it was used to clean up a spill of soda or wiping up a chemical, washing it, is necessary.

After drying your dishes, hang it either where it has an open air flow or simply toss it in a fluff cycle in the dryer.

Folding a wet towel can cause bacterias to grow in between the folds. Letting it dry by air , requires the towel to be open and airy.

Be sure to throw your used towels in the laundry every few days, to keep fresh.

If going green is your thing and reusing cloth towels are for you, just remember these simple tips, so you don’t contaminate clean surfaces with yucky bacterias.
