Terry towels, which are so convenient to use in the bathroom, become stiff over time.

To their chagrin, many housewives notice that even washing is not able to correct the situation.

The reason is that the fluffy fibers absorb and gradually accumulate minerals from tap water and skin particles that are difficult to remove with regular washing powder and fabric softener.

To clean your fabric and make it soft again, try the tips in this article.

Vinegar

Before washing, soak the towels in a basin of warm water, adding a glass of apple cider vinegar in advance.

Vinegar effectively dissolves minerals and then rinses out completely in the washing machine, leaving no odor behind.

Salt

Instead of vinegar, you can use salt, leaving the towels to soak for several hours before washing. Add three tablespoons of salt to a liter of cold water and stir.
