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.

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.

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.
