How to soften old towels during washing: 3 useful life hacks

You can make terry towels soft using simple and natural methods that are effective and environmentally friendly. UAportal has prepared life hacks that will help you with this.

Homemade fabric softener

To make your terry towels soft, you can make a homemade fabric softener by mixing 6 cups of water, 3 cups of white vinegar, and 2 cups of hair conditioner in a large bowl. Stir the mixture until smooth and then pour into a clean, empty container. When washing, you should add half a cup of this conditioner to the rinse cycle to effectively get rid of the stiffness of the towels and make them soft and fluffy.

Baking soda

Another life hack for softening terry towels is to add baking soda to the washing procedure. Pour half a cup of baking soda into the washing machine drum along with regular detergent and wash your towels as usual.

Wool dryer balls

By throwing these balls into the dryer before the cycle starts, you can get soft towels. This approach is an effective alternative to using traditional dryer sheets, reducing drying time and minimizing static electricity in the laundry.
