Do you change put your dishcloths every day and if you used your dishcloth to wipe out your sink or wash dishes do you use it to wipe off the kitchen table, counters, dishes, etc? And then where do you keep the dirty ones? Do you take them to the laundry every night? Please share your routines, I need some ideas!

I 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.

Thanks Sherrie! Do you have different cloths for each task? Or do you just use the same one for the day?

She'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.

start 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!

I do not change everyday, never have...I do rinse the cloth out every day with soapy. bleach water, but that is all.

I 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!

I 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.
