[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t buy cheap towels?[/quote]

They WEREN’T cheap towels, and now they are basically bleached in places- I agree that again, they were the wrong towels to use for guests.

I’m just surprised because, if I had been in the situation, I would have:
1) known my kids use a topical thing that destroys towels and given my host a heads up OR
2) seen the damage and offered to buy new towels

It’s not a huge deal, I’m just surprised that the consensus is so different than how I personally would have handled the situation.  idk. My baby threw up in my IL’s car and we offered to have it detailed- I would just assume it’s a common courtesy to at least apologize for leaving something worse off than when you came [/quote]

I mean, the offering to buy new towels thing is kind of, like, whatever. If this happened in my house the guests would maybe offer and I would definitely say not to do it. But I would like to think they wouldn’t feel the need to offer because they know I’m not keeping score on petty sh$t like that. [/quote]

+1 it's OK to be bummed, but weird to expect compensation. I have had white towels ruined by honey colored stains from hair dye that never came out. I just put them in a rags pile for cleaning patio furniture. It's all part of life for items to be damaged sometimes by accident and towels (even sentimental ones) are at the lowest rung of importance.[/quote]
