Mine get washed with the kitchen towels. But yes, usually full of what spills over.

Your in reference to the cloth ones . Silicon rubber is amazing . The cloth ones can be washed as well . If your talking about paraphrnalia , it can be cleaned up too

That's not a question...

They are washable so I prefer on not to burn my hands while cooking.

Since I prefer NOT burning myself, or my counter tops, I swear by 'em.
Interesting fact, they are washable.

Are we talking about kitchen potholders? Just toss them in the laundry with the dishrags and hand towels. Or, get some of those silicone potholders. You can just rinse those puppies off and they're clean as a whistle.

Are you speaking of cloth or silicon pads to help you move hot pots from the stove or oven? I'm not understanding your question.

Not sure what this poll has to do with anything since the answer con is one that was suggested as being correct would you want others in put on this before trying to judge at least try to hear why anyone might pick pro or cons just a suggestion and food for thought ok.
