Tricks For Odorless And Absorbent Towels

 It has probably happened to you more than once: you take your towel and after the bath you find that it smells bad, or when you try to dry yourself, it absorbs almost nothing. Even new towels can have this problem that is so typical.

How to make towels always smell good? What tricks are there to make them softer and absorb all the moisture from the body? In today’s article we will give you some wonderful suggestions that will be very useful in your daily life. Your baths will now be much more comfortable.

Many times when we buy new towels or bathrobes we notice that they are pretty rough. It is basically due to the toning dyes used in the manufacture. For this reason, many people prefer to put them in the washing machine with hot water first. Then they can become a little softer.

The truth is that it does not matter what material is used to produce the towels, whether it is American curl-

• 1 cup (250 ml.) White vinegar (or distilled vinegar).
• 1/2 cup (125 g.) Baking soda.
• Hot water.

• Use your washing machine. You can do this with new towels that you want to soften in the washing machine or those that you have had for a while but smell a little musty and that have stopped absorbing as much as they used to. Set your washing machine to use hot water and pour in the cup with white vinegar, which you have already diluted in a glass of water. Then let the washing machine wash an entire program. It’s that simple!

• The next steps are also very simple: Start a new program with hot water just like last time, but now you add baking soda. It is important not to mix the two ingredients. Wait until the program is finished and hang your towels to dry. You will notice the positive results!

Science can explain this simple remedy. At times, we may rely more on commercial products such as detergents and plasticizers, with the thought that they will give us good results. But in reality we get the opposite. Too many chemicals and too many ingredients damage the material not only because it makes them absorb less, but it also makes them wear faster.

• White vinegar: contains acetic acid, which is great for removing bacteria and moisture that sits in the fabric of the towels and at the same time softening the material.
• Sodium bicarbonate: As you already know, sodium bicarbonate or baking soda is a naturally occurring element that is perfectly suited for daily cleaning duties and is excellent for disinfection, for removing dirt and grease and for neutralizing bad odors. Its wonderful properties are due, above all, to the fact that it is very alkaline, much more than any detergent.

We’re sure you’re already aware of some of these suggestions. But it never hurts to hear about how, we can take a little better care of our towels. Think about the moisture that can begin to accumulate in them and how it can result in an accumulation of bacteria that can later cause allergies and unpleasant reactions that are worth avoiding.

Did you know?

• Bacteria love moisture, so every time you bathe, hang the towel up somewhere so it dries completely. It is not necessary to wash it every time, but it is important that it dries completely without any signs of moisture left. If it does not dry out completely, bacteria will come along with a bad odor and health risks.
• You need to be careful not to use too much detergent when washing them. The chemicals accumulate in the material of the towels, which in the long run makes them coarser and prevents the fibers from absorbing water. So remember: use only as much detergent as necessary.

• In terms of emollients, we recommend that you use white vinegar instead. It is natural and it softens the material in the towels much better without having any negative effects. The towel will last longer, will be more comfortable to touch and will continue to be able to absorb water as it should. Keep in mind, for example, that you need to be especially careful with clothes and towels for newborns or children. Instead of using chemical products such as detergents and emollients, use products with natural ingredients. You already know that baking soda, vinegar and even lemon are perfect allies and healthy to use in the daily cleaning of your home.

And you will pollute less! are you ready to put it into practice?
