Do you have and use an exhaust fan?

I keep my shower door open for awhile after I use it so it doesn't stay damp. I have large towel that I hang outside of the shower and haven't had a problem with them being damp the next time I go to use them

Having your towels outside of your shower should keep them dry. Put your towel rack on the backside of the door or on the wall for more air flow. Do you have a window in your bathroom? Or a fan in the ceiling? That should help.

We do have an exhaust fan that we use and I’ve started using the towel rack outside the shower. It works fine for one towel. I was just wondering how I can hang two towels without ending up with a wall of towel racks. None of these beautiful bathroom pictures include the drab things like useful towel racks and bath rugs (so you don’t slip on those gorgeous new tile floors). 😊

Do you have hooks on the door? You could put hooks or racks on the door.

I run the exhaust for 30 minutes and leave the shower door open after a shower. It helps. I also use hooks instead of towel bars. I have a tiny bathroom in an old house and this combination works well for me.

I put a towel bar on the back of my bathroom door.

We use hooks next to shower and on back of bathroom door. Also, Turkish towels are very absorbent and quick drying

The easiest option might be thinner towels.

Someone on this board discussed Quick-Dry towels last week.

We also use hooks. We have one on either side of the walk in shower. Totally dry by next use.

I wondered about hooks! I was worried they wouldn’t work as well as a bar. I like this idea. Thanks everyone!

Hooks are the only way to go. Towels on towel bars are never tidy, stylish hooks provide a uniform look at even my teenage granddaughters can use successfully.

I might be a little overboard but I throw them in the dryer for 10 minutes and hang them back on the hooks. They look nice and fresh that way!

We have hooks on back of door for body towels. Two racks for other towels. Never an issue

Our towels were often damp and musty. I purchased towels from LL Bean that are thin and dry quickly. I'm surprised that even though they are thin, they are more absorbant than plush towels.

I found double towel bars to be my solution. 24 inch towel bars allow you to spread the towels wide enough to dry and the bar in front gives you a place for a washcloth and hand towel. We loved them and our guests found them useful on their baths. The second bar gave them hanging space for wet bathing suits, too. In our current tiny master bath, I installed a heated towel rack since this bathroom lacks a window. The hall bath has a Shaker towel rack hanging over the radiator-toasty and dry towels in the winter. I also have peg rails but I find towels dry less quickly hanging from the pegs.

Buy a $5-$10 thermometer and humidity gauge to stick up on the walls for a few days to see what happens during the day. Thinner towels, heated towel racks, automatic exhaust fans and ceiling fans will help dry towels. Ceiling fans require a safe distance from the shower and tub, see local codes.

I have very large hooks next to my master bath shower and towels dry efficiently. We recently hosted 8 family members for a week and I told everyone to toss towels into the washing machine after use and I did a load every night along with napkins, shorts, t-shirts, etc. (My husband wondered why I wanted such a giant washer and dryer, 😉)
