Essential Oils for a Fresh Scent: For a natural, refreshing fragrance, add a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or eucalyptus) to the water. This will not only freshen up your towels but also provide a calming scent.
For Tough Stains: If your towels are stained, you can add a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide along with the vinegar and baking soda. This can help lift stains without damaging the fabric.
Use Borax: In place of baking soda, you can use Borax to help with odor removal and to boost the cleaning power of your towels.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use this method on all towels?
Yes, this method works well on most towels made of cotton, microfiber, or other common fabrics. However, always check the care label first to ensure there are no special instructions.
How often should I do this?
Once a month is a great frequency to use this method. If you have heavy build-up or frequent stains, you may want to repeat it every couple of weeks.
Can I add fabric softener after this process?
While fabric softener is tempting, it’s best to avoid it because it can leave a coating that affects towel absorbency. If you prefer to use softener, do so sparingly.
My towels are still stiff after washing. What should I do?
If your towels still feel stiff after washing, ensure they are completely dry. You can also throw them in the dryer with a few tennis balls to fluff them up.
