Why You Should Never Wash Towels With Clothes
Tossing towels in with your regular laundry might seem efficient—but it’s a mistake you’ll want to stop making. Here’s why:
1. Towels Need a Different Cycle
They’re thick, absorbent, and need a hot, heavy-duty wash—unlike your delicates or everyday tees.
2. Lint Everywhere
Towels shed like crazy. That fresh black shirt? Covered in fuzz.
3. Damage Danger
Zippers snag. Buttons rub. Heavy towels stretch and pill softer clothes. It’s a rough combo—literally.
4. Germ Transfer
Towels pick up sweat, skin cells, and bacteria. Mixing them with clothes? Not exactly hygienic.
5. Uneven Drying
Towels dry slower. Clothes dry faster. Washed together? You risk soggy towels and shrunken shirts.
The Better Way:
Wash towels separately on a hot cycle with a strong rinse. You’ll get cleaner towels, longer-lasting clothes, and peace of mind.
