They won't be hard and prickly: the best place to dry towels has been named

Drying towels in a tumble dryer can damage the fibers and make them stiff and prickly.

To avoid this, you should keep in mind a few rules for caring for these items. OBOZ.UA tells you how to dry towels properly so that they remain soft and pleasant to the touch.

The best way is to air dry towels on a warm, dry day. Sunlight bleaches white towels to keep them bright, while UV rays kill any remaining bacteria.

If the weather doesn't allow for this, towels can also be dried at home in a ventilated area, but shake them occasionally.

If you don't have a place outdoors, you can use a dehumidifier. It will also provide a similar effect.

For those who still prefer to use a dryer, limit the time to 20 minutes and use dryer balls or tennis balls. Adding dryer balls will fluff up the towels and the heat will kill any remaining bacteria.

After that, avoid ironing the towels, as the heat can damage and flatten the fabric fibers, making them less plush than desired.
