Stepping out of the shower, instead of a soft, comfortable towel, you grab a rough, uncomfortable one? Over time, towels lose their fluffiness and become stiff, often due to poor washing habits. Fortunately, there are simple, natural solutions to restore their softness. Here are the most common mistakes and how to avoid them.
-
Too much detergent has the opposite effect.
It’s often thought that adding more detergent will make towels cleaner and softer. In reality, excess detergent builds up in the fibers, making them hard and less absorbent.
The solution: Reduce the amount of detergent and use an extra rinse to eliminate all residue.

Baking soda: an essential ally
Baking soda is an excellent ingredient for keeping towels soft. It acts as a deodorizer, removes soap scum, and naturally softens fibers.
Tip: Add three tablespoons of baking soda to the detergent compartment for fluffier towels.
