how to refresh your towels🧻

• Over time, towels build up with detergent & softener & they are unable to absorb as much water. They also smell.

• Rather than use fabric softener on towels (it makes them rough/hard), try using tennis balls instead.

• Wash them once with hot water & one cup vinegar, then a second time with hot water & half cup baking soda. This strips the residue and leaves them fresh & able to absorb more water again.

🤍 save for later🤍

... Read moreOver time, towels can become less absorbent due to the buildup of detergent and fabric softeners. To restore their softness and absorbency, it's vital to wash them correctly. Instead of using fabric softeners that can make towels feel rough, opt for using tennis balls during the drying cycle to maintain their fluffiness. Start by washing your towels in hot water with one cup of white vinegar; this solution acts as a natural fabric softener and helps eliminate odors caused by mildew or detergent buildup. After this initial wash, follow up with another wash using hot water and half a cup of baking soda. This step will help strip away any remaining residues, leaving your towels feeling fresh and ready to absorb moisture effectively. Incorporating these steps into your towel washing routine not only enhances their performance but also prolongs their life. Regularly deep cleaning your towels will ensure they stay fresh and functional for longer, making your bath experience much more pleasant.
