It is a wonderful feeling to be able to wrap your face in a soft and fragrant towel. Unfortunately, aggressive detergents and very frequent washing can harden the fibers and over time you no longer have that pleasant feeling of softness.
In washing machines usually a simple supermarket fabric softener is usually used. But not everyone knows that the softeners are made up of chemicals that form a kind of film. This film only gives a soft feeling, which will be temporary. Without forgetting that industrial detergents pollute the environment around us. However, there are some natural remedies that help us to soften towels without problems even without softener! Let's find out together!
Aceto
The home remedy of the grandmother most famous and appreciated for house cleaning can only be him: vinegar!
Whether white or apple, it is a cheap and easily available product. It has many properties: it is a natural anti-limescale, disinfects and also has a softening function! Let’s also not forget that it is one of the most suitable domestic products to eliminate bad smells, even in the washing machine.
Maybe you’ll ask yourself how to use it to have soft and fragrant towels. In fact, a few tablespoons would be enough in the special compartment of the washing machine to notice the difference. In addition, the vinegar enlivens the colors, so your towels will look really new once dyed!
chamomile
If your towels are rough, they need a softening and a bit “relaxing” treatment. You got it right! We're talking about chamomile! This natural remedy is used by us very often to favor sweet nights and has a calming effect. However, few know that it is very useful to soften towels in a completely natural way.
It is necessary to boil 1 liter of water and infuse 1 sachet of chamomile, which we use for herbal teas. After it is ready and completely cooled, pour it directly into the water basin and soak the clean but rough towels. Let them soak for about fifteen minutes, squeeze them and do not roll them out directly to the sun. They will be soft and enveloping!
Baking soda
There are some really hard towels that don’t seem to want to soften. But we have the solution for you! If it seems to you that towels scratch your face every time you wash them, take a bowl of water and put in a nice spoonful of baking soda. You have to soak everything for a whole night and then spread it after wringing it. Baking soda softens the fibers and eliminates bad odors!
