Ever notice your towels getting stiff and scratchy? It’s not just wear and tear — it’s buildup from detergent and minerals. Here’s a simple trick to bring back the softness, using things already in your kitchen.
Step 1 – Wash with Vinegar
Put your towels in the washing machine with 1 cup of white vinegar. Use hot water and no detergent for this cycle.
Step 2 – Wash Again with Baking Soda
Run a second hot wash with ½ cup of baking soda. Again, skip the detergent.
Step 3 – Dry Without Dryer Sheets
Tumble dry on medium heat. Add a couple of clean tennis balls or dryer balls to fluff the fibers.
Extra Tips:
- Avoid fabric softeners — they cause more buildup.
- Don’t overload the washer.
- Air dry in sunlight for an extra fresh smell.
