How to Fix a Snag on a Towel

Towels of all sorts, including beach, hand and kitchen cloths, have a smooth surface but sometimes they can snag. If you've purchased a special set of holiday towels you don't have to toss them away just because you noticed a pulled section --- you can fix it. In most cases, you can trim the fabric away in just a few seconds. Stopping a snag while it is minimal will save your linens from further damage. Save your favorite towels by checking them for snags occasionally during washing and drying.
