Monsoon season has arrived with all it's attendant greys and cozy promises. However, we love the sound of raindrops falling on roofs and that slight chill in the atmosphere, but it is bad news for our towels.

Nothing is worse than grabbing a damp, musty towel after a refreshing shower. Nevertheless, fret not, lovers of towels! In this post, we will share some basic ways to make bath towels, hand towels, and more feel fresh and fluffy whenever wet.

1) Proper Drying Techniques

To prevent unpleasant odours from forming in your damp towel, use proper drying techniques such as:

• Keep them in an airy place when you are done with them
• Use towel bars or hooks to spread out the entire towel
• Don’t jam-pack them up because they will dry slower due to poor air movement.

Sometimes, drying can take longer if there is rainy weather, so be patient for a while.

2) Choose Quick-Drying Towel Materials

Before discussing how to maintain these items, let’s see the types of towels you own. Microfiber clothes or those labelled ‘quick-drying’ are best.

In times like these, where humidity tends to be high during the rains, such materials can make all the difference. For instance, MyTrident’s Fashion 1Pc Bath Towel, made from pure cotton material, is very strong yet soft and dries faster while staying plushy.

3) Don’t Pile Up!

Usually, people hang wet towels on hooks or stuff them into laundry hampers. Their surface area exposure reduces whenever moistened fabrics pile together, making them take forever to dry off.

Make sure you separate them wide apart or hang them individually so they dry much faster. Consequently, this easy action will keep your bathroom linens fresher for extended periods.

4) Optimize Your Bathroom Ventilation

To avoid dampness, ensure your bathroom is properly ventilated; if you have a bathroom fan, turn it on after bathing to disperse any steam and moisture.

Keeping a window slightly open can also work. Does privacy concern you? Having well-ventilated areas is very important when drying your towels before storing them to prevent musty odour.

5) Use Heated Towel Rails

It may sound extravagant, but a heated towel rail can change the game. It’s not just about having a warm towel on your body after a shower; the drying process will also be sped up. The money spent on the device will be worth it, as you always get welcomed by dry, puffy towels.

6) The Power of Sunlight

Sometimes, when the sun takes over from the rain, this is a good time to dry your wet towels. Sunlight acts as a natural disinfectant and reduces bacteria, causing the bad smell that comes with rainy days. Let your plush-like towels lie under sunlight so they stay fluffy all day.

7) Machine Drying (If Possible)

If you have a dryer at home, use it! Tumble-drying towels can be efficient, especially when it is continuously raining outside. But be careful not to over-dry them, as it can weaken the fabric and reduce its lifespan.

MyTrident’s Nectarsoft 4 Piece Hand Towels, known for being ultra-soft and amazingly plush, can benefit from gentle machine drying to maintain their luxurious feel.

8) Regularly Wash Towels

These monozygotic twins are more likely to be moistened by rainy weather, hence causing bacterial build-up. You should thus increase how often you wash them during the monsoons or even add white vinegar into their rinsing water if any stale fungi remain behind. Regular washing is essential for keeping your bath towels and hand towels fresh.

9) Store Towels in Dry Places

When unused, towels should be stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them in damp, closed spaces, like cabinets in the bathroom. Instead, consider storing them in a closet outside the bathroom. This practice helps prevent moisture build-up and keeps your towels in pristine condition.

10) Use a Dehumidifier

The dehumidifier can save you during monsoons because it keeps away moisture, enabling your bathroom and its towels to remain dry. This is a great investment to keep your soft towels and other linens fresh throughout the rainy season.

11) Aromatics to the Rescue

While this doesn’t directly dry your towels, adding a few aromatic sachets of lavender or cedarwood in your towel storage area can mask unwanted odours and give your towels a fresh scent. This little trick can greatly affect how your towels smell and feel.

Conclusion

Rainy weather always provides an opportunity for sitting back inside, reading books, or watching your favourite movies with a sense of nostalgia and calmness. However, they can also get damp, musty towels if you need to be more careful. But with these tips, you're fully equipped to ensure your post-shower experience remains warm and snuggly, rain or shine!
