How to Keep Your Towels Looking & Feeling like New?
Ask a Question
I bought some new towels from Richard Haworth after a stay in a hotel that had this brand. I haven't used them yet & its been nearly 3 years since I purchased them!
I'm looking for tips & specific products to keep them in great quality so I can brave to use them for the first time.
Thank you for any help
But what is the point of keeping them in a cupboard? If they are hidden away and not used it is a waste of money, but at least if you use them you have had your moneysworth even if they fade a bit.
I don't buy expensive towels but have only recently stopped using some that were over 30 years old. I have cut into squares and now use for polishing, shoe shine, washing car, so they still have a life
Don't use fabric conditioner, it coats the fibres and makes them less absorbent. Line dry if possible and tumble dry just for the last 10 minutes to fluff them up.

I don't buy expensive towels. I have towels from M&S that are 15 years old and still in excellent condition. I just wash them and line dry them. I don't use fabric softener and just use powder detergent.
I prefer powder detergent and use a little distilled vinegar instead of fabric conditioner. I like to tumble dry them just for a few minutes to fluff them.
Try white vinegar every now and then instead of fabric softener.It removes any build up on the towels and restores them.
I've always been told not to use fabric softener with towels but if you do you can use vinegar to restore them if you need to.
Like others have said on here no fabric conditioner, must admit I do use it though as I'd like my towels smell and nice.
