About this episode
If you reach for the old tea towel in the cupboard, this episode is for you.
It's time to talk textiles: why older towels seem to be better at drying, and when it may be time to throw out your more well-worn towels.
Jonathan follows the thread with Ellen Phiddian to find out what we can do with our linen.
