Tumble dry, at least in part

Yes, it sort of works to tumble dry them a bit after they have been line dried, but they need plenty of room in the drum.

I was told not to use fabric conditioner for towels as it prevents them from drying effectively so tumble dry mine, even in the summer if they go outside I pop them in the dryer for a short time.

I have the same problem. I don’t want to use the tumble dryer if I can help it. It seems to have got worse over the last couple of years. I wonder if manufacturers are reducing the plastic bits these days and laundry products are not like they were??

Don't use fabric conditioner, tumble dry.

My towels tend to dry like cardboard! We have a newish washing machine which is cleaned properly, and use powder and softener, but still have rough towels!
