Can you wash towels with clothes?

TL;DR

Yes, but separate is better. Towels can be rough on lighter clothes and may leave lint behind.

Yes, you can wash towels with clothes, but I would not make it your normal habit. Towels are heavy, linty, and need a different wash style.

Towels need enough room to rinse well. When mixed with shirts or leggings, they can create lint and friction.

Wash towels with other towels or sturdy items when possible. Use warm water if the care label allows it.

Avoid too much fabric softener because it can make towels less absorbent over time.

Towels and clothes can share a wash in a pinch, but towels usually do better in their own load.
