Germy towels
Not Chalk: My sister came over yesterday to help watch my son while I did a HUGE clean up around this bomb site, and she totally freaked when I put a load of washing in the machine that contained: teatowels, floor mop head, DHs handkerchiefs, and some face washers. "You put teatowels with all that stuff??! YUCK!". I figure, you're washing them in the washing machine, if you didn't think it was all getting clean in there, why bother washing it at all? yep, you are right, 99.9% of the germs at least will be zapped so there is no contamination from tea towels to anything else. Anyway I don't think teatowels are the worse, the floor mop head probably grabs that title, unless you have absolutely no outside shoes on the floor it washes. The only think I would be at all cautious about is nappies, I recall that washing them at 60 is sufficient, but I don't recall the definition of sufficient, so I wouldn't was anything else with them. But if I was doing it at 95 and I had something else that needed that temp, I would. Anne |

Admittedly, I usually (but not always) soaked pooey nappies in Napisan -- but widdly ones went in as they were. The nappies were always washed with all my other whites.
