Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Commonhouse bathroom towel query / kitchen towels

[Kay Wilson Fisk (kwwilson]

Regarding how to keep kitchen towels white without bleach: Our towels are a
nice medium bright blue. We get them free from the hospital via residents
who are nurses. I suppose they are used once for operations and then
discarded - I'm not sure, but you might check with your local hospital.

How do you keep them white? Our people don't want to use bleach and it
shows. I was embarrassed recently when a parent whose child I was caring for
declined to use one to dry his hands. It looked horrible. Dickens comes to
mind.
