If you want to make your cloth napkins stronger, there are a few household tips on how best to do this. In the following steps we will explain how to do this by hand:
First you take a bucket in which you mix starch, for example potato starch. To do this, take about 4 tablespoons and stir it into cold water.
Now fill the bucket with boiling water and stir it all together.
Then add cold water until the bucket is full.
Now take your cloth napkins and move them back and forth in the bucket, do this for about 3 - 5 minutes.
Then put your cloth napkins in the washing machine and set it to "spin".
Finally, hang them up to dry. It is important not to put them in the dryer as they will become soft.
If you don't have your own washing machine, you can also spin dry the napkins by hand. However, be careful not to wear them out.
