Sherrie on Jan 20, 2015I use clean ones every time I clean the kitchen. I have a small buck under the sink and I take it to the Laundry room and sort them out every night. I like clean and I like things really clean.Helpful Reply

Kim on Jan 20, 2015Thanks Sherrie! Do you have different cloths for each task? Or do you just use the same one for the day?Helpful Reply

Melissa Dawn Terrel on Jan 20, 2015She's right. You need a clean one every time you clean the kitchen, like after you eat a meal. You need to rinse it out in hot soapy water after each thing is wiped down though. Such as your table, rinse, then your counter tops, rinse, then your stove top, rinse etc.., Then it would be time for a clean one next time. I put my dirty one with the dirty laundry with other wet things such as wash cloths so they don't mold anything; plus they can smell too if you don't get to them quickly.Helpful Reply

Cheri HAYES on Jan 20, 2015start with a clean one each morning, using it to wipe water off the previous nights dishwasher cycle and for drying hands, etc. After dinner I then use it to polish the granite after wiping everything down with hot, soapy water. Towel goes into the laundry and the sponge goes into the dishwasher. Everything is clean in the morning!Helpful Reply

Fab and Pretty on Jan 20, 2015I use a dish rag for a couple of days unless I had some real nasty dishwashing to do, then it goes to the kitchen and cleaning rag laundry basket I keep on the washing machine. Ido also use that cloth to wipe the counters and table after a thorough soap and cold water rinse. However I do dry my table and follow up on the counters with a spray solution of rubbing alcohol/water and dish soap followed by a sheet of paper towel. Then I use that towel to swipe the sink. Tea Towels I change every few days. I let my eye be my guide but also often grab them when I take the dish rag to the laundry bin!Helpful Reply

B. Enne on Oct 23, 2015I change the dishtowels a couple of times a week, unless they are really dirty, and put them in the laundry. The dishcloths go in the dishwasher everytime I run it. Then I put them in the laundry with the dishtowels.Helpful Reply
