Drying dishes within minutes of washing and setting them in a dish drainer helps them remain spot-free. Some kinds of dishtowels, however, create a issue just as annoying as spots — lint all over the dishes. Towels designed to be equally absorbent and lint-free, occasionally referred to as glass towels, make certain the dishes dry completely with no lint left behind.

Selecting the Ideal Dish Towel

While the look of a single dish towel may fluctuate greatly in the following, so can its effectiveness. Some dish towels made from fabric blends don’t absorb well and leave lint or fuzz supporting when drying, leading to dishes which are still moist and covered in lint. Decide on a cotton or linen dish towel listed as highly absorbent to get the best drying capability; cotton will consume the best. To prevent lint, elect for finely woven dish towels designed for glass and crystal. These towels have been gentle on dishes, absorb water and don’t leave lint behind. Some manufacturers sell microfiber towels designed for dishes and dishes for lint-free drying. If you don’t mind a towel constructed for a different purpose, surgical or “huck” towels, originally made to wash sterilized medical equipment, are absorbent and don’t leave lint.
