It is a habit that after using a towel, it is stuffed down into the towel rack in a messy fashion.

An electronic motorized towel rack with two tracks running in directions opposite the other should be implemented.

When a towel is placed thereon and the user walks idly away, the tracks are activated and pull the towel in two directions (left and right) with the ultimate effect of straightening it.

I voted for your idea, but - http://www.websites...paper-girl-1024.jpg

       Why stop with just a towel straightener? How about adding automatic fluff, trifold, and warming features?

       There'd have to be some kind of towel retrieval system for this to be a complete towel-management solution. So many folks complain that their kids just drop the towel on the bathroom floor perhaps there could be some kind of ID tag sewn into one corner of the towel. A tracking device would locate the tag and send out a probe which would clamp onto that corner and reel it in over the towel bar, allowing the heated, counter-rotating tracks to straighten and warm the towel for the next use.

       The link already straightens and warms the towel :-)

       Tried that method, norm. The upkeep was MUCH too expensive. And I was lucky to still own a towel when all was said and done.
