It is no secret that many housewives are afraid to approach terry towels with an iron, because ironing can lead to the product losing its softness and becoming stiff.
In fairness, it should be noted that it is not only hot steam that has a negative effect on the condition of the villi.
Terry towels become rough due to aggressive and frequent washing at high temperatures, poor quality powder that settles on the fibers, drying on a radiator, etc.
It is important to remember that ironing is not only a way to smooth out creases, but also a method of disinfection, so in some cases ironing terry towels is not only possible, but also necessary.
This applies to children's things, old items and towels that you took to public places or the beach.
To disinfect a terry towel with an iron, use the steam function.
To do this, place the towel vertically (a hanger will help) and steam it on both sides.
If this mode is not provided in the device, you should iron towels when they are not yet completely dry, or use damp gauze for this purpose.
