So that your towels do not lose their softness and last longer, some care with washing and storage are necessary. Check out our tips:
Wash separately: Friction with other types of garments and fabric in the washing machine wears out the fibres and can form pinholes;
Soap and water to the measure: Consider the real volume of clothes. Too little soap does not wash properly. Thus, if you use too much water, there will be dilution and, consequently, not enough soap. Use the correct amount for the load of towels you are going to wash.
Softener without exaggeration: The excess of product can waterproof the towel, leaving it less absorbent and decreasing the efficiency of the washes;
Use vinegar: White vinegar (alcohol or apple vinegar) softens the towels and does not leave a smell. Use a cup of tea at each full wash, replacing the softener.
Shade and cool water: Do not wash towels in warm or hot water. The heat can damage the fibres. Also avoid using a dryer, drying towels in the shade;
Ironing no way: Ironing without steam removes the softness and decreases the useful life of the towel. Steam irons leave the towels humid, causing mildew and bad smell.
