I have a front loading washing machine. I do use fabric conditioner but my towels always seem hard unless I put them in the tumble dryer. Has anyone any other suggestions.
I live in Australia (for product info).

its most likely your water. it could be hard which is having more minerals. you may install a water softener but a dryer will be about the same cost.

I can only get them soft by using fabric conditioner and then drying them in tumble dryer, everytime i dry them outside they dry quite stiff. But that is actually better for soaking up water after a bath or shower.

You may have to add fabric softener to both the wash and the rinse. Or dry them for the last 10 minutes on the cool cycle.

i always put in extra fabric softener...if line drying do this on a breezy day ...a day with no wind will cause them to be stiff...you can always plug a fan in outside to create air movement to make towels softer or after line drying put them in a dryer with no heat and allow to tumble for about 5 minutes to soften them up

Tumble dry with some snuggle dryer sheets. Also I recommend snuggle fabric softener as well.

if you use a fabric softener it might help instead of a conditioner and if you do then don't use a fabric sheet in the dryer just use the softener, i am not sure what "fabric conditioner" is it might be the same as a "fabric softener"

I've actually used a wash cloth semi-soaked with liquid fabric softner tossed in my dryer with the rest of my clothes...sure makes everything smell nice and especially the wash cloth I use for this.

Take a hot shower and hang your towls up in the same room the steam will soften the fabric and also saves time ironing clothes

The ONLY way I know is in the tumble dryer. Any air dry and they are not soft.
