poopie towels

[Suzie-Q]

My toilet overflowed and my first reaction was to grab a towel
and throw it on the floor to soak up the water. Would it be safe
to wash and bleach this towel (maybe several times) and then use
it as an actual towel again, or should I just give up on it and
throw it away?

Yes, it would be safe to use it again, but if you bleach it, it is
likely to get discolored.
Honestly, I'd just keep it as a rag, handy the next time the toilet
might overflow.

AFAIK, mothers had been washing and reusing cloth diapers for decades
before disposables were invented.

Yes, it is perfectly safe to use one it is laundered. I hate to bring this
up, but don't you think that towels get "poopie" on them sometimes,
especially in places like hotels where people do unmentionable things?

I have 4 kids (3 boys and a girl), 4 cats and a dog. I can honestly say that
'poopie' does wash out. One of my boys wanted to see if Superman could swim
as good as he could fly. His little Superman figure was just small enough to
go down the big hole but big enough to warrent buying one of those snake
things to retrieve him from where ever it was that he got 'stuck'. Used
quite a few towels trying to clean that one up.

You know I'm with you on this one, Nan.
I could never wipe my face without thinking about a turd hanging on the
towel.
I vote rag.

(but I'd probably throw it away)

I keep old raggedy towels just for these kinds of things.
