Grandmother taught never to throw away terry towels, she showed how to return them to their former softness

After the first washing, the thorny soft towels turn into sandpaper. This is due to improper mode and washing temperature, excessive amount of washing powder and drying on radiators. Today I will tell you how to make towels soft, fluffy and return the old look to old terry towels.



Table vinegar softens hard water and works as an air conditioner for laundry. In addition, it removes the unpleasant smell and disinfects the washing. You can simply add 100 ml of vinegar to the air conditioner and run the washing machine. But if you need to resurrect old hard towels, it is better to prepare a vinegar solution. In a bowl of hot water add 2 tbsp. l. sea salt, 2 tbsp. l. soda, 200 ml. 9% vinegar and 2 tbsp. l. air conditioner for laundry. In the resulting solution, soak towels and leave them for 4 hours. After soaking, wash them in a washing machine with liquid powder at a temperature not higher than 60 degrees.



If the towels after washing have become hard, then it is enough to soak them overnight in cold water. Then squeeze and dry in the fresh air. Worth will soften, and the rest of the powder will be weeded out. Salt also softens water well. In 1 liter of water, stir 2 tbsp. l of food salt. For 40 minutes, soak the towels, then rinse them in clean cold water and dry in the fresh air. Before drying, shake the products so that the villi are straightened and the towels after drying become soft.



It is better to never wash towels with dry powder, so as not to make them hard. The powder is poorly rinsed, so it is better to wash the towels in liquid washing powder with capsules or make a home conditioner for washing from shampoo. Mix 10 ml of table vinegar and 2 tbsp shampoo. Stir the product to uniformity and fill in the rinse compartment.



Special balls are used for washing woollen things, but they also help spread mahra on towels and robes. You can use tennis balls, and after washing several times shake the towels, then they will be much softer than they were before washing.



It is said that bedding and towels should be washed separately from other things and at high temperature. But it is the high temperature that becomes one of the reasons for the rigidity of terry towels. If the label does not indicate the washing temperature, then it can be washed at any temperature up to 60 degrees. The higher the temperature, the tougher the towel will be after washing.



After the main wash, it is desirable to put additional rinsing, and add the powder in moderation. By the way, if there are any stains on the towel, they are better washed off if for half an hour before washing in the typewriter soak the product in warm or cold water.

It is possible to iron terry towels only with the function of supplying steam, otherwise the products will be irretrievably spoiled. Follow the instructions on the label, sometimes synthetic fibers are present in the composition of terry towels, because of this ironing may be contraindicated.



Timber towels serve up to 3 years with proper washing and drying of products. Wash towels should be 1 time a week, so you need to have at least one replacement kit. Never put wet towels in a basket with dirty laundry, and best of all, immediately wash them separately from other things. In a humid environment, harmful bacteria multiply, and towels acquire an unpleasant musty smell, which cannot be eliminated. You can prevent the problem of unpleasant odor with 1 tbsp. l. soda, which should be added to the drum with washing.
