    Yes. You should actually wash anything fabric, including clothes, before you use or wear it.

    Can I use dish washing liquid?

    If you are hand-washing the towels you can use dish soap, but never put it in the washing machine. Only use laundry soap in the machine.

    How do I keep my towels from spreading lint on everything in the washer?
    Community Answer
    You can just keep the towels aside until you have enough to wash a separate load, and keep the towels separate from all of your other clothes.

  • Question
    Is it unsanitary to dry a bath towel after showering if laundry facility is shared?

    Top Answerer
    It would be most hygienic to air dry your bath towel instead of putting it in the dryer. If the air is very dry, you'll also be humidifying the air as well as saving electricity.

    Community Answer
    You can use fabric softener such as Lenor or Comfort to soften your bath towels. You will also find drying your towels in the tumble dryer with tumble dryer sheets soften baths towels.
