How to Hang Bath Towels So the Middle Dries
Spread bath towels out on the line and check the thickest areas before folding them.
If a towel is dry around the edges and damp in the middle, check whether it was folded over the line. The layers can cling together where they overlap, reducing airflow where the fabric needs it most.
Peg two corners if the line has room
Shake out the towel and peg it by two corners so most of the fabric hangs in a single layer. On a windy day, make sure the line and pegs can hold it securely. If you need to fold it over a short line, turn it partway through drying so the fold moves.
Check the hem and the fold
Feel the thick hems and the area where the towel crossed the line. If either still feels damp, give the towel more time or finish it spread out indoors. Fold it away once the thick parts are dry.
If there’s a short break between showers, consider hanging the lighter items first. CapyWash helps you decide when to start an outdoor load.
