Store towels only when fully dry to avoid mildew.
Fold loosely; avoid overstacking to maintain air circulation in linen closets.
Rewash with vinegar once a month to keep softness.
Variations:
Add a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or eucalyptus) to the vinegar rinse for fragrance.
Use dryer balls if using a machine dryer—they reduce stiffness naturally.
Switch to distilled water if your tap water is hard.
FAQ:
Why do towels become stiff after washing?
Because of detergent build-up, hard water minerals, or incorrect drying techniques.
Can I still use fabric softener?
It’s better to avoid it—over time, it builds up and reduces absorbency. Use vinegar instead.
How often should I wash towels?
Every 3–4 uses to keep them clean and fresh.
