Cleaning towels is easy! Start by gathering all the towels that need to be washed. Then, separate them into light and dark-coloured loads. Use detergent appropriate for the fabric type (i.e., use mild soap for delicate fabrics) and wash according to the instructions on the care tag. For extra freshness, add some fabric softener. Finally, dry your cheap towels in the dryer or hang them up outside for natural drying.
