Keeping your towels soft and fluffy is crucial to enjoying a pleasant experience after every bath. Here are some effective tips for washing your towels so that they retain their texture and durability:
Steps for ideal towel washing
Water temperature: Use warm water to wash your towels. Hot water can deteriorate the fibers over time, while water that is too hot will not clean effectively.
Amount of detergent: Avoid excessive use of detergent. Too much detergent can leave a residue on towels, reducing their fluffiness and absorbency. Use the amount recommended by the manufacturer of your detergent. In Clean & Easy The laundromat in the La Bordeta neighborhood of the Sants-Montjuïc district has automatic dispensers that inject the necessary detergent and softener in each wash.
Tennis ball use: Place a tennis ball in the dryer along with the towels. The ball helps to agitate the fibers during the drying cycle, improving the fluffiness of the towels.
Don’t overload the washing machine: Make sure not to overfill the washing machine. Towels need room to move freely in order to clean and rinse properly.
Alternative to fabric softener: In some washes, substitute vinegar for fabric softener. A quarter cup of white vinegar during the rinse can help remove detergent residue and soften towels without leaving behind odors.
Wash with baking soda: Adding half a cup of baking soda to the wash cycle can enhance cleaning, improve whiteness and fluffiness of towels. Use the baking soda along with your usual detergent.
Additional benefits
In addition to improving softness and fluffiness, these tips help extend the life of your towels and maintain their color and texture. Remember to dry the towels completely after washing them, preferably in an airy place or in the dryer at a low temperature to preserve the fibers.
