Do you ever wish you could get the feeling of thick, fluffy spa towels in your own home? Here’s the good news: You can!
With a simple, cheap hack, you can make sure your towels are always comfortable and luxurious every day of the week.
Here’s what you need to know about achieving perfect towels.
How do hotels and spas do it?
Hotels and spas always seem to have the ideal towels. Despite the fact that many people use them, they are soft and fluffy. While hotel and spa towels get washed frequently, they are still so comfortable.
Why do the towels washed in our own homes never feel that good?!
Here is the insider hack you need to know.
According to cleaning expert, Nic Shacklock, there is a secret to these lovely towels, and it’s way simpler and more affordable than you’d think. The hotels and spas aren’t buying expensive towels or using a higher-end laundry detergent. Nope!
So, what’s the secret, and why didn’t we all know it before?
The secret lies in some everyday cleaning supplies…
While you can keep towels in good condition in different ways, one of the easiest tricks is using a combination of white vinegar, bleach, and fabric conditioner.
Most people already have these products in their laundry room or around the house, so trying this hack out is easy. You may not even have to buy anything new!
Here are the simple steps to follow:
All you need to do is add white vinegar to a load of laundry, along with a little fabric softener and bleach if the towels are white.
Just pour two to three cups of vinegar into the washing machine, and you’ll be amazed at how much better your towels look and feel.
It really is the best cleaning product!
While bleach keeps white towels bright and fabric softener smells great, the key is the white vinegar. This versatile product strips away built-up on the towels and breaks down bad-smelling bacteria for a fresher smell.
Vinegar is perfect for cleaning so many things. It’s no wonder it’s been used in cleaning for decades!
This DIY hack is also super affordable.
You can purchase white vinegar from most grocery and big box stores for just a couple of bucks or less, depending on the size of a bottle.
So, for around 25 cents per load of towels, you can have the fluffy, soft, luxurious towels you’ve always wanted, in the comfort and privacy of your home.
Here are more simple tips for the perfect towels.
Adding vinegar to laundry goes a long way, but that’s not the only thing you can do to extend the life of your towels and keep them smelling and feeling amazing. Cleaning experts have a few other simple trips you’ll want to consider. And, these are all just as simple and affordable.
Use these washing machine settings.
Cleaning experts like Dean Davies told Express to wash towels on a medium temperature setting and keep the load size small. He notes that towels absorb a lot of water when wet, so you don’t want to overpack the machine.
If there are too many towels at once, they won’t get properly cleaned.
One last thing…
The last simple tip experts recommend for perfect towels is actually a great way to save money, and it’s’ super easy. All you need to do is use less detergent. Many people tend to add too much to each load, which can gunk up the towels and make them less soft.
Plus, the less detergent you use, the less often you need to buy more!
