It's easier to wash terry towels: they need to be thrown into the machine, put the powder to sleep, set the washing mode and you can rest.
However, with such care, 3-5 washes are enough for the towels to fade, lose the brightness of the colors and become gray.
To return the towels their original appearance, comprehensive measures will be required:
- proper washing and spin mode;
- selection of cleaning products;
- tricks to soften the fabric.
How to restore the former softness of terry towels
First of all, soak the towels for 12-16 hours in clean cold water so that all foreign impurities leave the fabric fibers.
Use vinegar and soda to restore softness to terry and kitchen towels. Take 1 cup of table vinegar and pour it into the liquid compartment in the machine. Start the washing cycle without rinsing and wringing.
Pour 0.5 cups of soda into the powder compartment, repeat the same washing cycle. Rinse and wring your towels.
If towels have become stiff due to poor-quality water, then a simple trick will help to neutralize its effect on textiles.
After washing, rinse the towels in a solution of 0.5 cups of vinegar per 10 liters of water.
