Tea towels

I'm sick to death of trying to dry dishes with cloths that just slide over them. Now, I live 10-15mns away from most major supermarkets and shops so recommendations please, with make and model number precisely!

Asda ones are quite good but I find they do need a couple of washes before use to get rid of the "slippery" nature of them.

I let the dishwasher do our drying, failing that the children Laughing I could always lend you one of them Wink
Kathy

No dishwasher and the offspring do the drying but still need the towels to do it with!
Do Asda do more than one type Mrs WW, if so which ones have you used?

I seem to have mostly Lakeland teatowels, which work a treat.

I only got them because they were jolly colours though... Laughing

I tend to treat myself to linen tea towels from rare breeds trust at the local shows.
Kathy

Which Lakeland ones Lizzie?
Lizzie

They don't seem to have the exact ones that I bought - they're VERY bright turquoise/red/orange/green checks.

However, I'd suppose that all their tea towels are of the same quality (they were cotton ones, not furry...).

I always wash new tea towels before trying to use them, if that's any help.

OOops sorry, having just spotted your location its a little too far for either of them to come each day anyway...

As most tea towels are coated a hot wash in white vinegar may help...

Sorry Kathy, don't know which type they are  Embarassed   I only tend to use them for drying crystal glasses or anything that's not dishwasher proof.  I certainly find the slightly thicker ones are better though - almost more like a thin towel/thick teacloth if you know what I mean.  I have some of the black sort of square wove type ones at the moment which are from Asda and they're good for drying with after a couple of washes.

Cheers for the recommendations folks, Asda's is the nearest so I'll probably have a look there.  Smile
