Before thinking about how to soften your towels again and how to use them to soften them after washing, let's look at the reasons why they become hard. When you know exactly what is the cause of a particular problem, it becomes easier to cope with it.

Often, cheap and low-quality powder has a detrimental effect on the quality of the pile. If a low-quality detergent is not completely washed out of the fibers of the fabric, then the thing after washing will definitely become tough. Also, hard water can negatively affect the softness of the product.

In the event that you washed terry cloth products in the washing machine without observing the recommended temperature regime, the softness of the fabric may also decrease due to too high a water temperature. In addition, the original quality of such a product can be spoiled by improper drying or if you iron the towels without steam.

We figured out the reasons. What to do with those towels that have already become tough. Is it really impossible to return them softness and make them fluffy again. It is quite possible to cope with the task even at home. We've got some helpful tips to help you make your towels soft again.

Returning softness to your favorite towels is easy and simple if you know some secrets. Let's start with the most common and simplest way. To begin with, the product should be immersed in clean, almost ice-cold water. They must be left in this water for at least twelve hours. Therefore, it is best to soak them overnight.

After this, the product should be rinsed thoroughly. This should also be done in cold water. After this procedure, lightly wring out each towel, shake it and dry it at room temperature. Ideally, you need to dry them in a room with high humidity, then the villi will definitely be soft again. To do this, you can use a conventional humidifier.

Common salt and ammonia often help many women in the household. It is these two ingredients that will help to restore softness and brightness to the towels. For one liter of warm water, you will need one large spoonful of salt and a small spoonful of ammonia. Once the salt has dissolved, immerse the product in the solution and leave it there for three hours. Then rinse thoroughly with cool water and dry. When drying, follow the same recommendations that we talked about above.

If the towel becomes tough after washing, then it can be immediately soaked in saline solution for about forty minutes. And then wash, taking into account all the rules and recommendations. For five liters of water, use two large spoons of any salt.

In the event that the product has become hard after improper drying, then an iron with a steamer will help to restore softness to the fibers. Iron the fabric thoroughly using hot steam and it will be fluffy and pleasant to the touch again.

The main reason towels become stiff is due to improper washing. For this reason, it is worth studying all the intricacies of this issue in order to know exactly how to properly wash terry towels.

First of all, it is worth choosing the right detergent. Avoid traditional powders and opt for liquid laundry detergents. Such products should be free of phosphates and chlorine. It is these components that have a detrimental effect on the pristine softness of the towel. As a supplement, you can use a special fabric softener that contains silicone. This product helps to preserve the softness of the products.

In the event that, during washing, add a little of the most ordinary table vinegar, then this will not allow the product to become tough. Nine percent vinegar - just 100 milliliters - should be poured into the compartment for the fabric softener or fabric softener. And if you add a spoonful of sea salt with the powder, it will help soften the water, which will have a positive effect on the quality of the washed towels. If sea salt is not available, then it is quite possible to add a small spoonful of the most common baking soda.

During washing in the machine, it is recommended to use special "prickly" balls, which help to beat the towels and keep it soft. These special balls can be found in any store and are often used to wash down jackets or woolen products.

In the event that you wash clothes by hand, then you need to adhere to other recommendations. Before the main washing process, be sure to soak the product in cold water for an hour or two. For hand washing, it is also better to use gel or any other liquid detergent. Do not rub the terry towel strongly during washing. You need to wash it with smooth and light movements.

After that, you can soak the product for half an hour in water and salt, and then start rinsing it. During rinsing, you should change the water at least three times to ensure that no particles of detergent remain. During the last rinse, add some table vinegar to the water to help soften the fibers. When wringing out the towel, do not twist the product too much.

We have a few more tips to help you if you have new towels that are still soft. Our recommendations will help you keep them soft for a long time.
