Don't let scratchy towels ruin your post-shower bliss

Follow these easy tips to bring your towels back to life and enjoy the soft, fluffy feel again.

From vinegar soaks to proper drying techniques, say goodbye to scratchiness and hello to luxurious towel indulgence.

  1. Vinegar soak: Add half a cup of white vinegar to your washing machine during the rinse cycle. This will help remove any buildup of detergent or fabric softener that may be causing your towels to be scratchy.
  2. Baking soda: You can add half a cup of baking soda to the washing machine along with your regular detergent. Baking soda will help to break down any build-up of soap and fabric softener, making your towels softer.
  3. Avoid fabric softeners: Fabric softeners can make towels scratchy over time. Instead, use dryer balls or add a few drops of essential oil to the dryer to add a natural scent.
  4. Dry towels correctly: Avoid over-drying your towels as it can damage the fibres, causing them to become stiff and scratchy. Instead, dry them on a low heat setting and remove them from the dryer while they are still slightly damp.
  5. Avoid using bleach: Bleach can damage the fibres in your towels, causing them to become scratchy. Instead, use a natural laundry detergent or a detergent specifically designed for towels.
  6. Shake towels out: Before you put your towels in the dryer, shake them out to fluff up the fibers. This will help them to dry faster and become softer.

By following these tips, you can restore your scratchy towels to their former soft and fluffy glory.
