The Soft Towel Secret: Washing and Hanging Tips to Prevent Stiffness

ADVERTISEMENT

Separate Towels: Always wash towels separately from clothes to reduce lint and ensure even drying.

Use Warm Water: Wash in warm (not hot) water to remove dirt without damaging fibers.

Skip Fabric Softener: Use ½ cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle instead—this naturally softens the fibers.

Avoid Overloading: Give towels room to move freely in the washer for thorough rinsing.

Add Baking Soda (Optional): For extra softness, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda during the wash cycle.

Drying Technique: Shake out towels before hanging. Hang them stretched flat and fully open on a line or rack in a ventilated area.

Avoid Direct Heat: Do not hang towels in direct sunlight for too long, as this can stiffen the fabric.

Fluff Between Hands: If towels feel slightly stiff after drying, fluff them by slapping or shaking vigorously.
