And I’m not just talking about dirty laundry; folding and putting away clean clothes is a daunting task for me. However, there’s one category of laundry I always fuss over and keep up with, and that’s kitchen linens. For as long as I’ve had my own kitchen, I’ve refused to wash kitchen stuff with any other laundry. To ensure all of my kitchen linens smell fresh and stay that way, they need more than their own wash cycle—they need their own hygiene system. Wet, soiled kitchen towels are a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, and you don’t want to encourage any kind of growth.
