I started using "un-paper towels" in the kitchen (aka, birdseye and flannel cloths) and I'm really liking them, but I'm trying to figure out a wash routine. Figuring I should probably use CD safe protocol to keep them nice and absorbant, plus I shouldn't let them sit in the wetbag for days, right? So I'm wondering if it would be gross to just wash them with my diapers. I'm using them on my countertops and to dry dishes and stuff, so it seems kind of *yuck*...but the washing machine cleans, right?
What do you guys think?
Re: is this gross?
I like this answer. But I'm guessing I should neglect to mention my wash routine when "normals" (aka people who don't CD) notice the paper towels...

this. i also throw towels in w/diapers when i don't have a full load... so i don't see a big deal in throwing the unpaper towels w/diapers.
i'd just wash them with anything honestly. whatever you're washing most often. which is probably diapers lol. i'd actually think they'd be cleaner washed w/diapers than w/a normal load since there are more wash/rinse cycles involved.
LOL- yeah that's probably a good idea. Considering the general population thinks we have washers full of poop.
Target - cheap white washcloths. YWIA.
This but Walmart+ several cute baskets all over the house. I use them for everything.
I got mine from Mamamade, but she doesn't have them in stock. What I really liked about hers is that they actually snap on to an empty paper towel roll. Keeps them really neat and organized.
