FAQs
Q: How often should I wash my towels?
A: It’s recommended to wash bath towels after 3-4 uses, or roughly once a week if you shower daily. Hand towels (which get frequent use) and face towels/washcloths should be washed even more often – ideally every 2-3 days, especially in a household with multiple people, to prevent bacteria buildup. Kitchen dish towels might need washing multiple times a week since they handle food and frequent drying. The American Cleaning Institute suggests washing towels after three or four normal uses. Always hang towels up to fully dry between uses – a towel that dries out thoroughly can be used a couple of times before washing. If a towel develops any Odor or feels damp, wash it sooner. And of course, always wash towels immediately if they’ve been used to clean up something like a spill or after contact with sweat (gym towels) to maintain hygiene.
Q: Should I wash new towels before using them?
A: Yes – it’s generally a good idea to wash new towels before first use. New towels often come with a bit of finishing residue or lint from the manufacturing process. A initial wash will remove excess dyes, chemicals, and lint. In fact, washing first can dramatically improve absorbency: during manufacturing, some towels get silicone or starch finishes to look plush on the shelf, but these finishes limit absorbency. Washing with a cup of white vinegar (instead of detergent) in the first wash can help strip off those finishes and set the color. Also, new towels can shed lint; a pre-wash (separately from other clothes) will get rid of a lot of that loose lint. So, for best performance and hygiene, toss your brand-new towels in a warm wash cycle before you start using them to dry off.
Q: Can I wash bath towels with other laundry (like clothes or sheets)?
A: It’s best to wash towels separately from clothes, for a couple of reasons. Towels are heavy and produce a lot of lint – mixing them with clothes can lead to lint sticking to your garments (especially terry towels on dark clothes) and can also prevent both from washing/rinsing optimally. Washing towels with sheets can also be problematic: large sheets can twist around towels, preventing proper cleaning. Towels also prefer a hotter wash for hygiene, which might not be suitable for all clothing. In a pinch, washing towels with sturdier items (like a load of sheets) on a hot cycle is okay, but avoid mixing towels with delicate fabrics. (In fact, our Angie Homes blog answered “Should You Wash Sheets and Towels Together?” – generally advising against it for the reasons above.) For the best results, wash towels in their own load with similar colors, using the appropriate water temperature (hot for white cotton towels, warm for colors) to get them truly clean and lint-free.
Q: Is it okay to use fabric softener or dryer sheets on towels?
A: It might surprise you, but no – you should avoid using liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets with towels. Fabric softeners coat fibers with a thin layer of chemicals (often silicone-based) that make fabrics feel silky. Unfortunately, this coating reduces towel absorbency by repelling water. Over time, softener buildup can also make towels feel stiff and less plush. If you love softness, instead try natural alternatives: add white vinegar to the rinse cycle occasionally (it helps remove detergent residue and keeps towels soft), or use wool dryer balls in the dryer to fluff towels and reduce static. Dryer sheets similarly leave a residue that diminishes absorbency, so skip them for towels. (For a full explanation, see our blog “Why Fabric Softener Is Bad for Towels” which details how softeners make towels less effective.) The good news is, a towel washed without softener will regain its natural fluffiness and absorbency – so you’ll dry off better and the towel will stay soft longer.
Q: How do I keep my towels soft and fluffy?
A: The secret to fluffy towels is proper washing and drying. First, avoid overloading the washing machine – give towels room to tumble and rinse thoroughly. Use a moderate amount of detergent (too much can leave residue that stiffens fibers ) and wash in warm water. Skip the fabric softener (as noted above) because it creates buildup; instead, you can periodically use vinegar in the rinse to strip residues. When drying, tumble dry on low heat and consider tossing in a few dryer balls – these help fluff the fabric by agitating and separating the towels as they dry. Dryer balls or even clean tennis balls will prevent towels from clumping, leading to more airflow and fluffiness. Remove towels promptly when they’re dry and give them a shake – this helps prevent them from compressing into a stiff state. Also, don’t iron towels (ironing flattens the loops and makes them less fluffy). By following these steps (wash warm, rinse with vinegar occasionally, dry with airflow), your towels should stay soft, fluffy, and inviting. (Angie Homes luxury towels are designed to be soft from the start; following these care tips keeps them that way.)
Q: How do I get the musty or sour smell out of my towels?
A: A musty, sour odor in towels is usually a sign of bacteria or mildew growth from towels not fully drying or from detergent buildup. To banish the smell, do a deep cleaning: wash the towels in hot water with either 1 cup of white vinegar (no detergent) or use baking soda (about 1/2 cup) in the wash. Vinegar helps kill mold/mildew and neutralize odors by removing residue. After a vinegar wash, wash again with detergent (no softener) to rinse out any remaining smell. Important: immediately take towels out of the washer and dry them thoroughly – either high heat in the dryer or line-dry in sunlight. The sun’s UV rays also help kill odor-causing microbes. Going forward, make sure you hang towels spread out to dry after each use (not balled up on a hook) to prevent that damp smell. A combination of proper washing (using vinegar occasionally) and ensuring towels are completely dry before folding will stop towels from smelling. If a particular towel’s odor persists after these tricks, it might be time to retire it – but usually a vinegar/baking soda treatment will rescue your towels and have them fresh again.
Q: Can I use bleach on my towels?
A: Use caution with bleach. Chlorine bleach will sanitize and whiten towels but can also weaken fibers over time. If you have white 100% cotton towels without special finishes, occasional bleaching is fine (follow the label instructions – some cotton towels are actually labeled “do not bleach” by the manufacturer to preserve integrity). For colored towels, avoid chlorine bleach as it will strip color and can cause yellowing. Instead, use oxygen bleach (color-safe bleach) or whitening powders which are gentler. A good practice for whitening dingy white towels is to use oxygen bleach or even baking soda + vinegar soaks, rather than chlorine, to protect the cotton. If you do use chlorine bleach, use it sparingly (e.g. every few washes, not every time) and dilute it properly before it contacts the towel to avoid spotting. Always wash rinsed towels thoroughly to remove any bleach residue. In summary: bleach can be effective for disinfecting or whitening, but it should be used infrequently and with care. Most of the time, hot water and a good detergent (and sun drying) will keep towels bright. If your white towels say “no bleach,” stick to alternatives to avoid damaging them.
