How to dry towels in the dryer to maintain their quality?
- Low to medium temperatures: Use low to medium temperatures. High temperatures can damage the fibers of the material, which can reduce their absorbency and softness. It is ideal to set the dryer to a lower temperature to keep them soft and fluffy.
- Don't overcrowd the dryer: If you put too many towels in the dryer, there won't be enough room for air to circulate. The towels won't dry evenly, which can affect their quality. That's why it's better to dry smaller batches at a time.
- Dryer balls: Using dryer balls helps towels stay fluffy and soft, while also shortening drying time.
However, if you want your towels to last as long as possible, air drying is always the best option. Not only will this reduce the risk of fiber damage, but the towels will also smell better and retain their natural texture. If time permits, let the towels air dry naturally - this is how they best retain their quality.
Microtech towels are recommended to be air dried and if in the dryer, choose the temperature carefully so that their softness and structure are preserved. Even though this material is durable, a lower temperature is always gentler.
