Experts also have other tips for having soft towels and not risking having to throw them away.

If possible, after washing them in the washing machine, they should be put in the tumble dryer. The rule is to set the programme to “medium dry”. Otherwise, they can also be spread out in the sun, preferably in a favourable wind.

Another excellent ingredient is white wine vinegar, which softens fabrics in a completely natural way. Excellent as a sanitiser and effective against unpleasant odours. Just one cup of vinegar is enough to pour into the tray in the fabric softener section. A tip? Add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to give the fabrics an excellent clean scent.

Of course, it is necessary to say goodbye to bleach, because the risk of completely ruining the towels is very high. Bleach could flatten the fibres and make them stiffer than ever before.

Towels
Finally, it is best to avoid too high washing temperatures and overloading with detergent. A soapy fabric will find it difficult to remove all the residues that will be left on the fibres. Not only that, as soon as the wash cycle is finished, towels should be immediately put out to dry. A damp towel attracts odour, mildew and stiffness to the fibres.
