If the answer is yes, it&#8217;s probably because of residue build up from detergent, softener and other laundry products like dryer sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">How To Keep Towels Soft<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Don&#8217;t use too much Detergent<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">When doing the laundry in general, you shouldn&#8217;t be using too much detergent anyway. To make sure there won&#8217;t be detergent residue on your towels, use the right amount or even less than recommended for your washer. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Wash in hot water<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">It&#8217;s important to wash towels above 40\u00b0C not only because it will help kill germs and bacteria but because detergent dissolves better when washed at a warm or hot temperature. This way, detergent residue won&#8217;t build up on your towels.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Don&#8217;t use Fabric softener<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Although fabric softener is made to make fabrics soft, it does the opposite when used on towels. Towels are made of microfiber, which is how they&#8217;re able to absorb and lock in moisture. Adding softener will only coat it with waxy residue, causing it to reduce it&#8217;s absorbency qualities overtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Use Vinegar or baking soda<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Since you can&#8217;t add softener to make towels soft, a great alternative would be to use either white vinegar and\/or baking soda. Both work as great natural softeners and are perfect for sensitive skin. Just add 1\/2 a cup of white vinegar or baking soda to the rinse cycle in the drawer or in the drum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Additional tips:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Wash towels with towels only\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Don&#8217;t overload the machine<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Use the low heat setting if you need to put it in the tumble dryer<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Whether you have time to spare or not to wash your towels properly, y<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">ou can make the process of cleaning towels a lot easier when you use Laundryheap.
