4. Hygiene Matters
Towels are used to dry your body, face, and sometimes even your pets. They harbor more bacteria, sweat, and dead skin cells than your everyday clothes. Mixing them means you’re potentially spreading those germs to items you wear close to your skin.
5. Uneven Drying
Towels are bulky and retain a lot of water, which makes them take longer to dry. If they’re tossed in with thin clothing, you’ll either end up with soggy towels or overdried, shrunken clothes. Either way, your dryer works harder and your fabrics suffer.
The Bottom Line
Washing towels and clothes separately isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s about protecting your laundry, extending the life of your fabrics, and keeping things truly fresh. For best results, wash towels on their own using hot water, a proper detergent, and a full rinse cycle.
Your wardrobe (and your nose) will thank you.
