how do i get towels fluffy without putting them in the dryer?

Answer 1

Rinse them twice make sure all the soap is out of them ,then hang them out for a good blow.

Answer 2

I don't really know the answer but I can tell you what I've done.

I used to have to dry my laundry in the garage with the dehumidifier on because the clothes line was in a stupid place that never got any sun.

My towels are mostly big thick spa towels and often took three to five days to dry completely but they were always soft and fluffy. I usually washed them with other towels because I used a little bit more fabric softener (double) than I would with clothing. I only packed the washing machine 3/4 full so the spin cycle wouldn't compact everything too much and always shook them out really well before putting them on a clothes rack to dry. Every so often, while they were drying, I gave them a good shake to loosen them up.

In short they were dried away from wind and direct sunlight with a dehumidifier and given a good shake 2-3 times while they dried.

These days my towels get dried in direct sunlight in the lounge and with no dehumidifier. They still come out fluffy in the end.

Whether it's the avoidance of wind, more softener or just bloody good towels , I don't know, but it's up to you what you try.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

i use liquid fabric softner and then hang on the line to dry. If there is a good wind, they will come out soft and a little fluffy. Nothing will make them as fluffy as a dryer though.

Answer 4

Not very easily I'm afraid - line drying on a windy day might work - or give the a really good shake once dry - but the dryer is the best way.

Answer 5

Tumble dry is the only way I know of. It is true by the way that fabric conditioner reduces absorbancy but I just love the smell too much to leave it out!

Answer 6

Apparently you are not supposed to use fabric softener on towels cos it decreases the absorbancy, hmmm a load of testicles if you ask me I reckon softener is the way to go :)

Answer 7

shave your cat and stick the fur on your towels taaaaaaaaaa raaaaaaaaaaaaaa fluffy towels

Answer 8

if you iron them, it softens them up. Best to bring them in just before they're dry and finish them off in the dryer.

Answer 9

Fabric softener in with the wash

Answer 10

i can never get mine fluffy unless i tumble them, even using loads of conditioner, and the line just stiffens em up.
