What temperature should you wash towels at to kill bacteria?

Joy · Accepted Answer

I wash my towels on a forty and I don't use conditioner as this makes the towels hard

For really spiked towels wash them at the highest setting on your washing machine to kill any bacteria lerking in them.  Use fabric conditioner to keep them soft and fluffy

Ayisha · Answer

We always do a minimum of 60. Would not recommend any less and would highly recommend using a dryer for towels if available to you.  It gives them the hotel feel.
