The other day I complained about the humidity and 'the smell' that sets in my dish rags whenever it gets warm. And last night I learned how to take care of 'the smell'--put it in the dishwasher. I know I've read about putting your kitchen sponge or scrubbers in the dishwasher, but it just never occurred to me to do the same with the dish rag. And yet, I did it last night and the results are GREAT! The dish rag came out clean and smelling fresh. Who would have thought? Obviously, not me. :D
(This is one of those posts that make people who hate blogs bang their heads on their desks. I agree--this WAS a waste of brain cells to write AND read. :D)

Every once in a while I soak the dishrag and the sponge and the sink mat in a dishpan of bleach water. We don't have a dishwasher, so this works pretty good. It's the stink on the hand towels in the kitchen that's the worst.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason or another, the bleach-soak isn't working for too long for me. Maybe I'm not soaking long enough...
ReplyDeletemaybe it's the fabric that holds the smell in-like, inferior cotton or something.
ReplyDeleteI let 'em soak in bleach for at least 15 minutes. The bleach smell is annoying, so it's best if you crack the kitchen window open.
Yeah, I definitely don't soak for long enough.
ReplyDeleteanother solution is to just throw 'em out and get new ones! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat pretty much sums up what I HAVE been doing. But, now that I've found a good pattern to crochet my own, I hate to waste the time making them and then have to throw them out, instead of WEAR them out. :D
