    Hi all,
    This might be a silly question...lol..
    But just wanna hear some opinions or tips.I used to dry my bathing towel everyday with a dryer. I used to put a short rinse in the washer and put it in the dryer.
    We can sun dry it in India..it's not possible here..
    Also, I know there is a option of using cloth drying rack to hang towels and keep it in patio..but that's not allowed in my apartment community..they allow only the patio furniture outside. So, I am drying using the dryer everyday to dry my towels. This makes the towel quality little bad. I am not using any linen spray..do anyone using any linen spray? Any tips on that? Any DIY spray?

    Thanks for reading..

    I run around the room like Kajol and sing mere khwabon main jo aaye....by the time I finish singing the last stanza the towels are pretty dry ! :laughing:
    I wish ! Towels are normally on the towel bar in the bathroom and dry by the end of the day. You don’t have to wash them everyday .
    Or get thinner bath towels from India and they should dry even quicker.

    Usually, It's the sun that fades clothes. I wash my clothes by the instructions on the label and I can say my clothes last until I'm bored of them. Most women's clothes are line dry, so I have a indoor rack.

    I would never dry towels outside- it looks tacky and I think it gets dirtier with all the dust and pollen. If you have a fan (ceiling or standing), you can dry your towel by leaving it near it. Usually my towels dry up in 12 hours- I keep multiples if I am uncomfortable using a damp one. Also, certain towel brands are slower to dry.

    I leave it in the sun in summer . In winter I have two options.
    Position a standing towel rack close to the vent in our respective rooms. Over the course of the day the towel gets dry. Of course the kids forget to do it which means they are damp and I run them in the dryer for a few min .:BangHead:

    Do you have delicate settings on the washer and dryer ? Use those. Do not put t shirts in the dryer. I line dry them.

    Letting clothes dry in the patio is normal in a lot of Asian countries. But a big NO in the US.
