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

ADVERTISEMENT

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.
