To Wash or Not to Wash: These Items Should Be Washed More or Less Than We Realize

Dishcloths are MVPs in any kitchen. They’re helpful for so many tasks but are most needed for constantly wiping your hands. Whether you get food on your hands or have just rewashed them for the hundredth time, you always need one of these on hand. With that much use, they can get dirty very quickly.

How frequently you wash them depends on how hard you work them. You can generally use the same towel for three to four days, but if you are wiping up spills or using them for other hard labor, just go ahead and toss them in the wash every day. When it comes to bacteria and your kitchen, better safe than sorry, we say!
