How to Arrange Towels on a Towel Bar

Hanging Towels in a Basic Way

1. 
   Spread the bath towel out on a flat surface. Any flat surface you have handy will work. You can use a table, the bed, a counter, or whatever is convenient. It's important to make sure the towel is spread out flat and evenly so the towel's ends line up as neatly as possible.^[1]

   1. Make sure the surface you're using is clean and free of contaminants. The last thing you want after getting clean in the shower is drying with a dirty towel!
2. 
   Fold the towel into thirds and drape it over the towel bar. First, lay the towel flat. Then, fold each long edge toward the middle so both edges are touching in the center. Make sure the tag is inside!^[2]

   1. You can also fold one long side to the middle, and then fold the other long side on top of the first.
3. 
   Hang the towel over the bar. Adjust the hanging ends so that they're both even. If more than one towel is hanging from the bar, keep them separated from each other to prevent mildew and mold.^[3]
4. 
   Hang a hand towel over a bath towel. To hang the hand towel, lay it on a flat surface and fold it into thirds vertically. Once it's folded, drape it over the large towel on the rack. Choose towels that are color-coordinated.
