A tea towel on your appliance door may look convenient, but it can create unexpected hazards.
On your oven: A hanging tea towel can come into contact with hot surfaces, creating a potential fire risk.
On your dishwasher: A towel draped over the open door can be easy to miss, increasing the risk of trips and falls, especially in a busy kitchen.
Keeping tea towels on a dedicated hook or towel bar is a simple way to make your kitchen safer while keeping your appliances working as intended.
Smart habits make for a safer home.
