Even the softest towels eventually stop absorbing moisture properly and become hard and unpleasant for delicate skin.
This happens in cases where such things were not properly cared for.
Common mistakes
Incorrect washing is the most common reason. You should not set the temperature above 60 degrees, as experienced housewives note, the optimal temperature for washing such things is 40-50 degrees.
It is advisable to use washing gels rather than regular powder, as particles of the latter may remain on the fabrics. In addition, do not throw too many things into the drum at a time.
Incorrect drying also causes problems. The best option is to hang the items in a well-ventilated room or in the shade.
How to restore softness and absorbency to towels
You need to soak the items in a mixture of a couple of liters of water, 2 spoons of ammonia and a spoon of salt. It is advisable to leave the towels in this solution for 2 hours, then rinse and dry.
The second method involves washing in two stages, as well as using soda and vinegar.
At the first stage, you need to pour 1 cup of table vinegar into the powder compartment. Washing should be at 40 degrees. But without rinsing and spinning. Then you need to start the second wash, but this time with a third of a glass of soda. Rinsing and spinning are mandatory.
