    Brand new towels are no good; they need at least 2, preferably 3 runs in the washing machine at 60 degrees, 90 for white, before they reach their optimal absorption level.

I’ve still got one that’s 25 years old and use it as a scruffy towel at the rugby club.

    best ones i've found are the cheapo supermarket towels, they always seem to be more absorbant... probably because they haven't been treated to fluff them up and look prettier
