Why are towels so soft in hotels, but at home they quickly lose their fluffiness?
There are a few secrets that help keep your towels soft, bright and fluffy.
Quantity of powder
In this case, more is not better. It's not just about the consumption of washing powder, but also about the quality of the wash. If you use too much, the towels will become stiff. The problem is that the powder is poorly washed out and remains inside the fibers.
Incorrect washing mode
The following factors negatively affect the quality of towels:
- insufficient rinsing;
- hot or hard water;
- high revs.
To wash towels, use a delicate cycle, and when spinning, the number of revolutions should not exceed 600-800. During rinsing, you can additionally use conditioner.
Folk remedy
In addition to special means, there are also folk remedies. Many housewives recommend adding vinegar or table salt to the detergent tray.
Or soak the items in a bath or basin in a weak vinegar solution, rinse, and then wash in the machine.
Hotel Secrets
Instead of conditioner, vinegar (9%) is often used. For example, when rinsing towels or bed linen, add 100 ml.
If the towels are not the first freshness, have become faded, then it is worth soaking them in water with a cup of white distilled vinegar. This method helps to remove stains and return good absorbency to the products.
After soaking in vinegar, the towels are washed in the machine, but instead of detergent, use soda - ½ cup. This will refresh the items and remove unpleasant odors.
