Towels and sheets. Are many of yours frayed and grungy? Discard them or use them for rags, and get new ones. But choose towels wisely, depending on your climate and your laundry equipment. I live in hot, humid south Florida, and we use air-conditioning—but only in the middle of summer. I also use a solar dryer (translation: a clothesline), so for me, thin, inexpensive towels are best because they dry faster, both after use and on the line. Also they take up less room in the hamper and on the shelf. Besides, I happen to like them better than heavy towels. For guests, I have a nicer set.
You may love heavy towels and have no problem with washing, drying, and storing big ones. As we all use towels every day, it’s important to buy the kind that works for us. In this decision, cost should take a backseat.
It’s the same with sheets. You use them nightly, and they meet a very personal need for comfort. So buy what you really like and need. Because sheets last a long time, it helps if you consider that their cost can be spread over
extended period.
