Yes, you can wash tea towels in a washing machine. In fact, unless you’re told not to do so by the care label, cleaning tea towels in this manner is the easiest way to keep them clean and sanitary. You can add a laundry sanitiser as well, like Persil Antibacterial Laundry Sanitiser. However, this isn’t essential. As you might’ve guessed, tea towels are normally exposed to lots of dirt, from grease, to food waste, and from grubby water to soap.Simply pre-treat stains first, then fill a tub/sink with warm water, pop the tea towels in (make sure you keep similar colours together), add a biological detergent to the water and wait an hour or so. You can then start agitating the tea towels in the water to clean them.
