I purchased extra-large safety pins and used scraps of fabric to designate towels for family members. I wrote each of our names in washable ink on several ‘tags,’ which are then attached to our bathing towel. I can tell in an instant who has le his or her towel on the oor/bed/etc. And I am washing a lot less towels now. -- D.L. in Ohio
