She must have meant that she doesn''t want liquid softener, like Downy, on her towels. Downy makes them less ''thirsty'' when you have to dry off. Bounce and other dryer sheets will not have that same effect.Date: 7/10/2009 9:41:49 PM

I''m extremely curious about how other people wash their towels.
I wash them with detergent and then dry them using a bounce sheet.
BF''s mom has left us with instructions on how to wash the towels and underlined for us not to use any fabric softner.
Her towels are insanely rough though!
For wash cloths, I will wash them in hot water, on the heavy cycle, with oxyclean and detergent, and add an extra rinse. Just in case you have extra sensitive facial skin, maybe even do a second rinse.Date: 7/13/2009 9:16:29 AM

Ok, I thought this was kindda a funny question, but I am soooooo wrong - never heard about the softner effect, but what about the nasty smell to the facecloths even after they are washed and have been put through the dryer - that sour smell?! What can be done for that - sorry not trying to hijack your thread - thought it just kindda went with it :} thanks
