Over time, towels can become dull and stiff.
However, there are several effective ways to help revive old towels.
Moreover, simple improvised means can help in this case.
Making a hard towel softer
Before washing, such towels should be pre-soaked in a special solution.
To prepare it, you need to add one glass of vinegar to a basin of warm water.
You should soak the towels in this solution and leave them for about 20 minutes. Then simply wash them in the washing machine.
Instead of vinegar, you can use salt. In this case, you will need 3 tablespoons of salt per liter of cold water.
Saving Yellowed Kitchen Towels
A yellowed kitchen towel should be thoroughly rubbed with laundry soap, placed in a plastic bag, tied and left for a couple of hours.
Afterwards, you need to wash them with bleach at a temperature of 60 degrees.
If stubborn stains appear on the towel, they can be removed using hydrogen peroxide.
Peroxide should be poured onto the dirty area and left for 15 minutes. Then the towel should be washed.
Removing unpleasant odors
You can remove unpleasant odors from towels using a special solution.
Add 200 ml of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of salt and the same number of tablespoons of fabric softener to a bowl of water.
The towels should be soaked in this solution for about four hours. Then they just need to be washed.
