Why never put a tea towel on the oven door?

Instead of hanging your towel on the oven door:

• Use a hook on the wall or the inside of a cabinet
• Hang it over a designated towel bar
• Use a magnetic towel holder that attaches to the fridge or side of a cabinet
• Always keep damp towels out of direct heat zones

Final Thoughts

It might seem like a small thing, but a tea towel on your oven door is a risk not worth taking. From fire hazards to hygiene concerns and appliance damage, the risks far outweigh the convenience.

A few smart adjustments can keep your kitchen safer, cleaner, and longer-lasting — without losing function or style.
