Question:
"I've gone to peoples houses and their towels soak up the water really well, where as mind don't feel like they do that as much. Especially my dish towels. Is there a special kind of dish towel that works better than others?"
Answer:
In my opinion yes. I absolutely don't buy any microfiber dish towels. I think that if you are trying to dry your dishes they just smear the water around--and I hate that. I take a long time to replace my dish towels because I'm so picky. The ones I have now I bought at TJ Maxx. They have a waffle-type pattern in the fabric that makes them really absorbent. Here are some from Target that would be a good set, equivalent to what I have. Beware of soft dish towels, usually if they are really soft it means they are microfiber. Lean toward the more plain, rougher, absorbent type towel if you really want to get your dishes dried quicker!
Great tip! Also, using fabric softener is a no no as it makes them less absorbent:)
ReplyDeleteGlad that Ask Anna is back! I really enjoyed reading it.
Thanks Anna :)
ReplyDeleteI love "Ask Anna"!
ReplyDeleteIKEA had some cream waffle weave ones last spring that I picked up and they work really well and they are super cheap!
Oh my gosh!! I absolutely DESPISE towels that don't dry anything! Huge pet peeve for me too.
