The kitchen is an essential space in the household, where families and friends sit down to share a meal or talk about important issues. It is also a place where household tasks are performed, and one of the most important of these is doing the dishes. The latter is usually associated with playful humor or domestic disputes. Sometimes, there are harsh words the next day when someone discovers a pile of festering crockery in the sink. Kitchen dish towels form part of this customary and yet routine area of domestic life.

Washing up regularly is not just a matter of a preference for tidiness. Unwashed dishes are a hazard to the inhabitants' health. Leftover food on crockery and utensils is soon colonized by germs. Knives used to cut raw food, meat in particular, are especially dangerous. Proper hygiene necessitates keeping the cooking area and its implements clean.

Choosing the right dish towel is part of this priority. The towel should be able to absorb the water on the entire load, and should also not leave any moisture on the dishes, drying them comfortably without too much exertion by the person doing the drying. It should also have a tolerable or even beautiful appearance.

Cotton makes the best towels, in terms of their material. A dense, soft towel made of pure cotton is very absorbent and goes through lots of dishes. Artificial material like polyester or polycotton is not as suitable because it absorbs far less water and leaves a film of moisture behind. Thinner cloths such as those that have been in use for too long become saturated before the load is done.

The design also needs to be chosen carefully. It affects the home's interior appearance so it should fit in with the cooking area's general layout. Some people have cloths which are souvenirs of past events or holidays. Others use attractively patterned cloths. The towel should be large enough for the volume of dishes that are used in the home.

Dish towels have an essential place in the home. They may be merely functional, or serve as a source of amusement and discussion. And, at a relatively low price, they are easily accessible enhancements to the household environment.
