In my little research, I found out that to make towels appear fluffier and more appealing to consumers, manufacturers add a super fabric softener to their towels. But it is this same fabric softener that drastically reduces the absorbency of the towels which makes towels feel hard and scratchy! Hmmm. I thought towels are made to absorb water!!
Thank goodness! There’s an easier, greener, safer alternative to restoring the fluffiness and absorbency for your towels.
Wash your new towels in hot water, and then add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse. I can’t tell you what a difference that makes!! It’s fabulous. This works to a lesser degree on older towels as well. It doesn’t get any simplier than that!
