Take an inventory of your towel store, sorting out the good sets and getting rid of old towels you no longer use. Re-organise according to size and colour. Stack large towels and bath sheets with folds at the front, then roll or fold hand towels and face cloths, stacking them sideways so you can identify sizes more easily.
