10. 100% cotton,... no dryer sheets in the dryer.

Dryer sheet mostly paraffin,... which is wax. Helps make it soft during the dryer - but sacrifices absorbancy with the cotton fibers coated with wax.

In the final rinse in the washing machine add a cup of white vinegar to help neutralize any soap residue so the towels come out softer after the dryer cycle.
