BUY THE RIGHT QUALITY TOWELS
Your journey towards soft and fluffy towels begins at the purchasing stage. When you buy poor-quality towels, you will have a harder time keeping them soft and plush. Your towel will become hard, the color will become dull, some residual smell comes from it all together making it a stinky towel. Therefore, put some time and energy into your towel selection process. After selecting a high-quality towel, you need to know how to wash & dry towels? Following are a few tips to wash your hand towels & bath towels properly:
WASH YOUR TOWELS USING SOFT WATER
When you wash your towels using hard water, they will feel rough and scratchy after drying. Your brand new soft towel will start losing all its properties after its first wash with hard water. That’s because hard water contains minerals such as calcium, iron, manganese, and magnesium which slowly accumulate between the towel fibers.
WASH YOUR TOWELS IN WARM WATER
Still, on the water issue, it’s best to use warm water to wash your towels instead of cold water.
WASH YOUR TOWELS USING LESS DETERGENT THAN SUGGESTED
Soap residue contributes to non-fluffy towels. Therefore, use less detergent than suggested. This helps your machine wash cycle have an easier time washing off those pesky soap residues. Otherwise, they won’t rinse clean – and you don’t want soap residue on your towels, right? Of course, you don’t.
USE VINEGAR OR BAKING SODA
Use vinegar or baking soda on your towels instead of fabric softener. Because fabric softener contains silicon which makes your towels water repellent. So, they won’t wash well.
How to use Baking soda/Vinegar
Add 1/2 cup of baking soda or vinegar to the laundry at the time when you add your regular liquid detergent.
How does Baking soda or vinegar help?
It helps in keeping the towels fluffy, keeping the towels white and odor-free. It brightens the towel and loosens the towel fibers.
USE THE RIGHT WASH LOAD
DON’T OVERLOAD THE WASHING MACHINE. Putting too many towels in your washer at once strains your machine. It will also prevent your towels from rinsing off all the dirt and detergent.
Many times people say, even after gentle washing of bath towels the stiffness still comes back after drying them. So they ask how to dry towels, so they become fluffy and soft.
HOW TO DRY TOWELS?
Use the same trick as the washing machine. If you overload it, there won’t be enough air in the dryer to properly fluff the fabric. So your towels will come out stiff and matted instead of soft and fluffy.
Another thing you should remember is to straighten out each towel before you throw it into the dryer. It helps prevent wrinkles and helps the towels dry faster.
THROW A DRYER BALL OR A TENNIS BALL IN THE DRYER
New tennis balls or dryer balls bouncing around in the dryer as your towels dry help in removing lumps, preventing clumping. It also softens and fluffs your towels, as well as speeds up the drying process. It reduces wrinkles and static. But make sure to go easy on the Tumble drying.
Although tumble drying makes your towels fluffier, the heat from the dryer can damage them. To avoid that, try to use a lower setting or alternate between air drying and tumble drying.
You can also dry towels on the line and finish them up in the dryer or dry your towels under the warm sun.
How to Roll a Bath towel?
Make your towels look like they’re straight out of a hotel. Spread the towel flat on a table, then fold it in half widthwise (or hamburger style). Fold the towel in half one more time, going widthwise again, to make a long rectangle shape. Finally, grab one of the short ends of the towel and roll it tightly in on itself. You’ll be left with a tightly rolled towel that will hold its shape no matter where you put it!
