secret to fluffy towels

[belle75]

Ever since I've started using a front loader, my towels come out like boards! they wash really clean (each cycle runs around 2hrs), but the towels are so scratchy! Any suggestions? I have tried reducing the spin speed, fabric softener.

I dry them on the line, but finish them in the dryer. Front loaders can be hardass on stuff - but great with saving water!

Oh My mum is the same..."how can you dry that baby wiht that hard towel"

So in the dryer works lulu? So do you put them in still wet?

I love crunchy towels....I think I'm weird.

The dryer does soften them a bit but maybe you need some fabric softener or vinegar for the final rinse.

yeah the drier will soften them.. just when they are almost dry, put them in. If u put them in when they are too wet.. it wastes power and money.

Don't worry tinks.. i cant stand soft towels!
