Weirdys. I like towels crispy.

crispy towels? why?

Well, not crispy, just not soft and fluffy! I want to be dry when I've finished drying myself, I don't want the water to bead and bobble and stay on me like on a soft over-conditioned towel

lol, fair enuff! I want to know the secret to fluffy towels tho.

soft towels suck. i like them all hard and starchy and rough.

The secret to fluffy towels is sticking them in the dryer.

Vinegar helps a little too, but the dryer is the key.

Mine are tumbledrying right this minute. Should be lovely and fluffy

I don't have a tumble drier

what do you do with the vinegar?

Only recently discivered the joys of tumble-dried towels. DP always tells me off for wasting electricity. Muslins are much nicer too.

As only one of us is in charge of washing whilst on maternity leave he can go ...

Sorrel put the vinegar in the fabric conditioner compartment instead of the fabric conditioner....

i like my towels crispy too.i hate faric conditioner and it has taken me 5 years to wash out all the Comfort from Dh's towel collection( wasn't allowed to bin them)

surely they then come out stinking of vinegar!!!

oh thanks fuzzy wuzzy. might be better than the awful excema- inducing fabric softener.Dh will be pleased as he says mine are like sandpaper.

thanks cod -will experiment!

Gwenick they don't smell of vinegar at all, I use white vinegar to wash both nappies and towels (obviously not at the same time), no vinegary smell just nice soft(ish) towelling.....
