HOW DO I KEEP MY CLOTHES FROM BEING STIFF

li

So for right now, I have no dryer.

My dryer just stopped working. Luckily, through facebook I found this wonderful and sweet woman thats going to give me a dryer that works for free.

She's my moms friend and says that she just got a newer one but the old one still works. It's just ugly.

So I'm going to go get either Sunday or Monday.

As of now, im hang drying my clothes.

And they are stiff as shit. My towels are like sand paper. I just wash them and hang them.

Is there any way I can avoid the stiffness?

Edit: YES I use downy fabric softener and my clothes still stiff as wood
