Many housewives have long noticed a disappointing pattern: the more often things are washed, the worse they look.
That is why store shelves are full of household chemicals that promise to restore brightness to clothes, remove gray film, or make linens soft.
However, such “miracle cures” can make a significant dent in the family budget.
To avoid unnecessary expenses, we suggest you remember folk recipes that, unlike advertised rinses and conditioners, cost mere pennies.
So, if you are faced with the task of restoring softness to terry towels, robes, sheets or woolen items, you should stock up on regular glycerin.
It can be used in two different ways.
1. If the item is bulky, after the main wash cycle, pour 1 teaspoon of glycerin directly into the machine drum and select the rinse mode.
2. Small items can be soaked in cool water after washing, to which glycerin should be added first at a rate of 1 teaspoon per 1 liter. Leave the clothes in the basin for 30 minutes, then gently wring them out and hang them to dry away from the radiators.
