Rough towels..
So I have a swimming pool and there are days that I have lots of family over to swim...not all of them remember to bring towel. I have plenty of large heavy towels... Now to the problem, I had about 7 large towels to wash and because I did not want to run my dryer for a long time I put them in about 5 min. i thought to fluff them up, and then I hung them up on a line. When I took them down they were really rough and kind of stiff.
I remember hanging up wet towels on the line when I was young, ( I am 77) and I don't remember them being so rough. What am I doing wrong, because they were not super dirty I washed them in cold water and Gain. Gee, maybe old dogs can still learn from other.

We lived on a lake and my mom never had a dryer - we hung up towels outside all summer long. She used fabric softener but the towels were never as soft as the ones I get out of the dryer. Not a big deal, we used them anyway and they would soften up with use. My niece does not used fabric softener - she uses dryer sheets and her towels are never soft.

I'm with you, bear--Ilove the way rough towels stimulate the skin--I feel cleaner. I used to hate bathing at my in-laws..she used so much softener the towels would not absorb the water on my skin. I always felt ''still wet'' as I got dressed.
