Fabrics like terry cloth and chenille produce lint. So it’s wise to put linty robes, towels, blankets and spreads in a separate washer load. But if you want to throw a few lint-producing towels into a regular load, add some white vinegar (one cup for a large load or a half-cup for a small load) in place of fabric softener. The vinegar will help prevent the towel lint from attaching to other items in the washing machine and in the dryer, too—in fact, you might even get away with mixing light towels with your colorfast dark clothing! Your laundry will not smell vinegary, but fresh and clean.
