[The lint from the bath towel will get onto the sheets, and that`s not something you want to deal with," Lindsey Boyd of The Laundress told Martha Stewart Living.
The difference in weight (sheets are thin and soft, cotton towels rough and thick) requires different wash and dry cycles. According to The Folde, linens and lighter fabrics dry more efficiently than towels-aka your sheets can end up over-dried and damaged, and mold or mildew could grow on your towels if they`re left slightly damp.
[The balance between linens in the dryer is like a dance," the article reads. [You can`t have one dancer dancing to a different song than the other. Everything will get tangled up. And tangled linens take forever to dry. Instead, limit your dry cycles to one type of linen so the tumble dance can be harmonious."
