Why You Should Never Wash Towels With Clothes
It might seem like a time-saving trick—tossing your towels in with your regular laundry. But mixing towels with clothes in the washing machine is a habit worth breaking. Here’s why.
1. Towels Need a Different Wash Cycle
Towels are thick and highly absorbent, which means they need a longer, hotter wash to get fully clean. Most clothes, especially delicates, require a gentler cycle. Washing them together often leads to under-washed towels or over-washed clothes—neither of which is ideal.
2. Lint Transfer Is a Real Problem
Towels shed a lot of lint, especially newer ones. When washed with clothes—particularly darker garments or synthetics—this lint can stick and create a messy, fuzzy nightmare. It’s a recipe for frustration, especially if you have to rewash everything.
3. Clothes Can Get Damaged
Zippers, buttons, and embellishments on clothing can snag or wear down your towels over time. On the flip side, the heavy texture of towels can cause pilling or stretch out lighter fabrics. It’s a rough mix—literally.
