What to do if towels have become stiff and no longer absorb water: here is the reason

Of course, none of us buy hard and poorly absorbent towels from the store.

No, we all choose soft and fluffy textiles that are so nice to wrap ourselves in after half an hour spent in a hot bath.

However, during active use, towels, as unfortunate as it may be, lose their qualities.

Air conditioners or even soda, which are supposed to fix the situation, can only solve the problem temporarily.

And this is understandable – no remedy will work if the root cause is not eradicated – ironing.

Yes, yes, it is the movements of a hot iron that cause towels to “spoil” and their owners to have an irresistible desire to throw them in the trash bin.

Therefore, if you are faced with a similar situation, remember – towels should not be ironed under any circumstances.

The iron crushes the lint, causing the towel to lose its fluffiness and softness, and along with them, its ability to absorb water droplets.
