How to Hand-Wash Towels
- 1). Fill a bathtub halfway with cold water for a full load of towels. Pour a cap of mild laundry detergent into the bathtub and mix it in with your water, using your hand to mix.
- 2). Put the towels in the bathtub and push them under the water until they are completely submerged. Allow them to sit for at least 10 minutes for stains to be penetrated.
- 3). Take one towel with both hands and rub the towel's surface together until the entire surface of the towel has been scrubbed. Do this with each towel. Drain the water.
- 4). Rinse each towel thoroughly and wring out as much water as possible.
- 5). Hang the towels on a clothesline to dry. If you don't have a clothesline, hang them on a surface that won't be damaged by water.
