What is the Towels cycle used for?
This cycle is tuned for absorbent, durable items that become heavy when wet.
It accounts for the way towels hold water and may use stronger wash action or spin behavior than an everyday cycle.
Choose another cycle for: Mixing towels with lightweight garments that can tangle or dry differently.
