Keeping towels looking new

Question

What is the best way to stop towels from shrinking around the stitching, and to keep them looking and feeling nice and fluffy?

Answer 1

Gain or Tide to wash, suavitel for softener and hang to dry.  I also fluff in the dryer to keep them soft. (with a fabric sheet or two)

Answer 2

Buy better quality towels, I've noticed that the towels I spend a bit more for don't do that.  The ones that go on sale for 2 or 3 bucks seem to do that, no matter how I wash them.

I usually wash my towels in cold/warm water and dry in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet

Answer 3

First of all, buy a good quality towel. If you do, you will not have this problem. Wash towels with Tide and use Downy Fabric Softener. Also use Clorox 2 to maintain color if your towels are colored. (Regular bleach if your towels are white like mine) I dry my towels on Casual Setting with Normal heat and they still look just as new!
