To use this tea towel, simply grab it and dry your hands or wipe down kitchen surfaces after cooking or cleaning. When it gets dirty, toss it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Hang it up to dry to maintain its shape. Keep in mind that because of its vintage nature, it might fade slightly over time with repeated washing, but that just adds to its rustic appeal. Also, avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as it could damage the delicate linen fabric.
