How to clean tea towels?

Drying cloths, which are constantly used in the kitchen, can become contaminated with various dirt, oils and microorganisms over time. Regular cleaning of the cloths is therefore of great importance for maintaining kitchen hygiene. 

First of all, it is necessary to dry the cloths thoroughly in an open area without collecting them after use. Cloths left damp can lead to the formation of bacteria and bad odours. In addition, food residues, oils and other contaminants left on the nappies after use can damage the nappy fibres. It is therefore important to at least rinse the nappies with water after each use and to remove any coarse dirt.

Drying after washing is also an important step in the care of tea towels. If possible, the nappies should be dried in natural air. Machine drying can damage the fibres and reduce their absorbency. If you have to machine dry, you can use low heat settings to ensure that your cloths maintain their first-day performance for longer.

The maintenance of kitchen textile products such as tea towels, which are frequently preferred in daily use, directly affects their lifetime and performance. High quality tea towels will continue to be indispensable in kitchens for many years with proper care.

Are tea towels machine washable?

Dish tea towels are suitable for machine washing thanks to IKEA quality. Machine washing ensures long-lasting use and hygiene of the cloths. As a functional kitchen accessory, tea towels can easily remove dirt and stains from daily use. The machine washable feature offers great convenience for users. Thus, it allows you to save time by eliminating the need for hand washing.

It is important that the detergent to be used during machine washing is suitable for the structure of the tea towel. Gentle washing modes should be preferred for cotton tea towel models. Since overloading during washing may damage the fibres of the cloths, it is necessary to place them in accordance with the machine capacity. In order to extend the life of your cloths, it is recommended to wash at low temperature as well as spinning at low speed.

Another advantage of machine washing is the inactivation of germs when washing at high temperatures. Drying cloths are made of materials resistant to hot washing. Washing at these temperatures will not damage the fibres of the cloth and will provide optimum conditions to neutralise germs. Washing instructions are stated on the label of each product, so it is useful to check the label information before each wash.

At what temperature to wash tea towels?

The recommended washing temperature for tea towels is usually between 30-40 degrees. This temperature range is ideal for the cloths to maintain their form during cleaning and to be cleaned without disturbing the fibre structure of the fabric. Very high temperatures can damage the fibres of the cloths and cause discolouration. For this reason, washing at low temperatures in accordance with the washing instructions ensures a longer life for your tea towels.

The type of detergent to be used during washing is also of great importance in the care of the cloths. When caring for quality cloths such as IKEA tea towels, detergents with colour-protective properties that do not damage the fabric should be preferred. It is important to avoid using fabric softeners when washing such nappies, as softeners can reduce the absorbency capacity of the nappy. The right detergent and washing regime will prevent your cloths from wearing out and provide maximum performance.
