Lab Notes: When is it time to throw in the towel?
Notas del episodio
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.
