Funnily enough I have just popped on here for bedding advice however tea towels..... I usually snap them up in the sainsburys sale as they seem to wash well, the waffle ones shrink and all seem to be a magnet for tea stain or bleach within a short time.
I have 2 red and cream checked laura ashley ones that seem invincible and have been around (and remain quality) for a number of years.

I've been using black tea towels for years now Mouse, the only way to go for a rental. Found some at Asda of all places that work really well, 5 for £5!Mouse wrote:My best purchase were some black tea towels (with a couple of narrow white lines) from M&S. They wash well, don't show stains and feel nice and soft. However they've stopped selling them

Sorry, no help from me re the commercial tea towels but when Dave's mam moved into residential care I inherited her (unused) collection of about 30 souvenir tea towels, I have tourist spots from all over the country her friends would bring her and the prize of the collection - the Charles and Diana royal wedding one! I still buy them as i think they're really kitschy.

I just tried to order the black ASDA tea towels which are unfortunately out of stock. I have plenty of IKEA ones but though cheap enough are a little thin for my liking.

At the cottage, I'm working my way through a pile of checkered tea towels - I consider them to be a disposable item and a ready source of cleaning cloths
Greenbarn, I'm doing my best to ignore the thread creep to oven gloves. Perhaps we should start an oven glove thread?????
