Step 2: When not using your towels for a day or two, place them inside of the clothes hamper/clothes basket so they can dry out thoroughly before next use.

Step 4: After you’ve wrung all excess water from your towel, hang it up on the towel rack with the thick part of the towel facing downwards towards the floor.

This method will also help prevent mildew smells from developing in your bathroom since less water is present in the towel, to begin with.

Step 5: To finish this process, simply repeat the above steps every time you shower and then let your towels dry out thoroughly before next use.

FAQs:

Do I have to re-use my towels in order for this trick to work?

Will this process cause mildew smells on brand new towels?
