To ensure that your towels last a long time and are always soft, you need to remember the simple rules for caring for such items.

But if the towel has become too hard anyway, and has also started to emit an unpleasant musty smell, it can still be saved.

You can “reanimate” a thing in simple ways.

First, you need to wash the terry towel in the usual way.

After this, you need to soak it in cold water overnight.

In the morning, the textiles must be rinsed in a saline solution.

Instead of salt, it is also acceptable to use vinegar, which is an excellent disinfectant and eliminates unpleasant odors.

After all procedures, the towel should be dried in the fresh air.

It is important that the fabric is not exposed to direct sunlight.

If you want to dry the item indoors, you should do it in a well-ventilated room. In addition, you cannot leave the item on or near heating devices.
