TIP OF THE WEEK
Abrasion during washing and drying can cause small fuzz balls to cling to cotton towels. To prevent the fuzz balls from happening, place a large piece of nylon netting in the dryer with the towels. The netting will cause the fuzz balls to fall off. Towels that are labeled “combed cotton” are less likely to form fuzz balls during the washing and drying process. Source: www.goodhousekeeping.com
