This is not (as I presumed when I read this same advice on another website) because the towels may run colour. It's because they SPEW lint and bits of thread in the spin-dry phase. Which basically means that my beautiful solid-black towel is now coated with infinite bits and pieces of white and pink from the other towels. :( Hopefully, the next wash will fix it!
Here's the main advice I now have for washing towels in the washing machine, gleaned from the Internet, my mom and my own two towel washloads so far!
Top tips for washing towels in the washing machine
- Do NOT use fabric softener. Use normal liquid/powder detergent.
- Wash towels of similar colours together.
- Put the towels through multiple spin dry cycles to get rid of flecks of thread and lint.
- Dry the towels immediately after to prevent the smell of dampness and mildew (that indicates bacteria is breeding, by the way).
Happy towelling!
