HOW TO WASH AND SOFTEN YOUR OLD BATH TOWELS

For me, the first thing that comes to my mind is the most expensive fabric softener. What was I thinking all this time! When washing towels grab a bottle of white vinegar instead of fabric softener. This will work wonders. DON’T WORRY THEY WON’T HAVE A VINEGAR SMELL.

WASHING YOUR BATH TOWELS

Cut back on laundry detergent, yep, that’s right and if you’re guilty of this you’re not alone for I am too. This will build up a soapy residue. I have this situation with my washcloth.

It simply takes more time than I take to shower to rinse the soap out of my washcloth. I got to the point where I blamed it on my body wash. Honestly, it pays to learn I was clearly using too much body wash.

When the towel is dry it will smell of detergent and feel very stiff. That’s not all it, simply won’t be clean, for as powerful as your washer is, it won’t be able to rinse all that detergent from the towels.

WASHING BATH TOWELS WITH BAKING SODA  

If you really want to care for your bath towels, replace your detergent with baking soda. Ok, let’s focus on what we are getting at here. Wash with baking soda and vinegar.  Cut back on the detergent if you prefer to use it.

When drying toss in tennis balls to help with the fluff. Feel free to toss in a few dryer sheets along with the tennis balls and that’s all it takes to have wonderful towels.

HOW TO WASH GRIMMY DISH TOWELS

Soak the towels in a bucket for 20 minutes with warm water and 1/4 cup white vinegar. For white dishtowels add a few drops of bleach to the water.

Wash your dishtowels with warm water. This will remove the grease. Avoid leaving your dishtowels in the washer overnight.

Doing this will cause grime leaving them with a musky odor. Also, your dish towels must be washed by themselves to ensure they are clean for the kitchen.
