Conventional fabric softeners leave an artificially soft feel, but coat the fibers in a film that reduces their absorbency. White vinegar, on the other hand, softens without affecting the effectiveness of the towels.
Tip: Add half a glass of white vinegar to the fabric softener compartment for optimal results.
Good to know: The smell of vinegar disappears completely after washing and drying.

Do not overload your machine
If you pile up too many towels, they won’t have enough space to be washed and rinsed properly.
Best practice: Do not fill the drum more than two-thirds full to allow good water circulation.

Separate towels from other clothes
Washing towels with clothes is a common mistake. They release lint that can stick to the laundry, and because they absorb more water, they require a specific wash cycle.
Tip: Wash your towels alone, without mixing them with other textiles.
