When is it time to throw out a towel?

Quality towels  last for years, but when your towel starts showing the following signs it may be time for new one :

• Pulled strings
• Ripped seams
• Holes
• Lint - towards the end of a towels life as the fibres start to break down it will start to lint.
• Thread bare - hold the towel up to the light, if you can see the light coming through in parts it may be time for new one

Instead of throwing out your old towel - cut it into smaller size pieces to use as rags. Which you can used to clean up messes or the car. Or alternatively consider donating your old towels to an animal shelter.
