Serving and Storage Tips:
Use Regularly: For best results, follow the Simple Sink Method every few months to keep your towels feeling fresh and soft.
Store Towels Properly: After restoring them, make sure to store your towels in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew and odor buildup. Avoid overstuffing towel storage, as this can make them lose their fluffiness.
Variations:
Essential Oils for a Fresh Scent: If you like your towels to smell nice, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the hot water mixture. Lavender, eucalyptus, or lemon essential oils work great for a fresh, clean scent.
Towel Refresh with Borax: You can substitute the baking soda with borax for a deeper clean. Just add about 1/2 cup of borax to the water along with the vinegar.
For Extra Softness: Use fabric softener in your final wash cycle if you prefer a softer texture. However, avoid fabric softeners too often, as they can reduce the towels’ absorbency over time.
