Clever trick to make your bath towels soft again

Here's how to make towels soft again.

Stepping out of the shower and wrapping yourself up in a new fluffy towel is such a good feeling, but after a while they tend to lose their softness and turn rough and scratchy instead.

There’s an easy trick to getting that soft and fluffy feeling back again and all you need is one simple item from your kitchen cupboard!

Add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle of your next load of towels and when you pull them out they’ll be as good as new.

As strange as it may sound, the vinegar helps to wash away any residue or grit caught in the fibres and doesn’t leave even a hint of a smell behind either.

Do this every six months or when your towels begin to turn scratch and coarse again.

There are a few other things you can do to keep your towels soft wash after wash, too.

Always wash them in warm to hot water and follow the instructions on the back of the detergent bottle.

Rather than making your towels extra clean, too much detergent can actually build up in the material and ruin them over time.

It’s that simple!
