i dont use manky ones at home so im not using manky ones camping. dont want to sound a snob, but i only use teatowels to dry clean pots on. if i had to use them for something else i would have to bin them. i use the cheap blue checked clothes for washing up and kitchen roll for mopping up or wiping.

I discovered the micro fibre towels from Decathlon, they do bath size towels for a tenner and they were fab!! They dry you so much better than proper towels, They dry out themselves so quickly and easily and best of all they are so not bulky. 4 Bath towels are literally less than the size of a medium size towel.

I also discovered some hand towels size microfibre towels for about £ 4 after we got home and grabbed them too.

i take my well use towels and tea towels then throw them away at the end of our trip.

I buy new tea towels for the caravan/camping. When they get grotty I use them at home and buy new.

Doesn't matter what the ones at home look like, but other people see the ones I use when away.

Ditto towels.

As sson as my teatowels or any towels come to that start looking off colour they go for wiping down the car or into the Garage for a multitude of uses.

Only decent towels go on holiday and only decent towels stay at home in the Bathroom

Tea towels? ... camping?!?

Life's too short to be drying dishes on holiday - it's paper plates and straight in the bin (very un-green, I know!) or plastic plates drip drying on the rack.

Kitchen paper towel covers all the other uses I can think of for tea-towels!

I just take normal tea towels and bath and hand towels from home....the bath towels are ones that don't "go" in the new bathroom now tho.  The tea towels usually live in the camping food/cooking box all year round.

For wiping up water, mud etc, I have one of those big paper rolls (like the ones you see at garages by the pumps) and just tear off what I need and then throw it away...

Also musts for us are anti bac wipes and baby wipes for quickly cleaning ourselves and tables, stoves etc.
