Talk:Washing mitt

Who exactly says that washing mitts are typically Dutch? Is it Dutch people? Dutch people also say that dinners consisting of meat + potatoes + vegetables are typically Dutch. And other things. I need to stress here that I love the Dutch and the Netherlands, but being a small country they have a certain obsession with things that make them special (or don't indeed...). Long story short: I've never heard of this idea (washing mitts = Dutch), maybe I've just missed it. But it would be nice if you could add some sources. Thanks!

I hadn't come across them till I moved to Holland (I was born in Britain), and after a few tries decided they're unhygienic, as the double layer of fabric tends to trap moisture that doesn't evaporate easily and they soon start to smell. I've even suggested on the talk page for the Dutch version of this article that this may be the reason why they're only used in a few countries - including Holland. Anyway, it certainly isn't a Dutch affectation about being special - they just aren't used much anywhere else.213.127.210.95 (talk) 18:22, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
