How often do you change/switch out your dish/washcloth? ?!


Question: How often do you change/switch out your dish/washcloth!? !?
This kinda' has to do with cooking, b/c after cooking you wash dishes and clean the counter!.

How often do you change/switch out your dish/washcloth!?
I've read here that "the best way to keep [washcloths] fresh smelling is to prevent the problem by rinsing well and draping the cloth over the faucet and allowing it to dry between uses!."

How often do you change/switch out your dish/washcloth!? Do you use one for a couple of days, throw it in the hamper, get a new one for the next couple of days, then wash them both at the end of the week!?

Hello!

When it comes to cleaning the stove and counter-tops, I use clorox disinfecting wipes and dispose of them!.

I hand wash my dishcloth in hot soapy water after each use!. Let it dry over the faucet or between the two sinks!.

After the dishes get done right after dinner- (dishcloth is hand washed in hot soapy water which gets rinsed and wrung)!.

I then let it soak in hot water with little bit of bleach every night for few minutes!. While I clean the rest of the kitchen!. I then rinse and wring it, and let it dry on the faucet over night!.

I Still Change My Dish Cloth Once A Week!.

PS: If bleach isn't your thing, you can always use baking soda and vinegar!. Hope you fine the answer you were seeking for!.

I've never used a dishcloth!. I use scrubby sponges, and clean them each day with antibacterial dishwashing detergent!. I hang my dishtowel over a hook so that it hangs freely and the air gets to it; and change that daily!. I put them into the washing machine, not the hamper (the dampness would get the clothes moldy - and a dishtowel shouldn't be with your dirty clothes)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I but a HUGE package if disposable ones (Handi Wipes) at BJ's - they come in packs of 500 and are relatively cheap!. I use a new one everytime I clean the counter!.
I also use alot of Clorox Wipes!.
If I do need a washcloth, I wash it in the washing machine after each use!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you cook and do dishes everyday, then you should switch it out for a new one every evening after you are finished with kitchen activity!. If you let a very damp cloth sit overnight, it can breed bacteria!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
