Brilio.net - Towels that have been used many times are usually full of stains. If left unchecked, stains on towels can become stubborn and turn black, you know. Cleaning towels full of stains so they can shine again tends to be difficult.
That's why many people have to wash it by soaking a towel for hours. In fact, it is not uncommon for the soaking process to take up to overnight, you know, so that the stain can be removed. However, netizens on the TikTok account @magicizone have a different trick.
The man on the TikTok account @magicizone said that stained towels don't need to be soaked overnight as long as you know the trick. So, to practice this trick for washing stained towels, you need three kitchen ingredients.
How to wash towels using kitchen ingredients.
The first thing you have to do is prepare the towels you want to wash. Then, smear the towel with enough toothpaste. Also add salt, dish soap and vinegar. Yup, those are the three main kitchen ingredients to practice this trick.
After that, flush the towel with warm water. Mix well, then let it sit for a few moments so that the stain comes off.
"Soak for 5 minutes," emphasized the owner of the TikTok account @magicizone, quoted by BrilioFood on Sunday (28/4).

After soaking, I just check the towel slowly to remove any remaining stains that are still on the towel. Then, rinse the towels with running water. Hang the towel until dry, then the towel is ready to be used again.

How to make towels soft.
You can try several ways to make towels softer with ingredients you have in the kitchen. Here are several methods you can try.
1. White vinegar.
Mix white vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio. Soak the towels in this solution for several hours or overnight. After that, wash the towels as usual with detergent. The vinegar will help loosen the fibers of the fabric and make it softer.
2. Baking soda.
Add half a cup of baking soda to the wash cycle when washing your towels. Baking soda can help loosen fabric fibers and remove stiffness.
3. Vegetable oil.
Mix a small amount of vegetable oil (such as coconut oil or olive oil) into the water when washing the towels. Vegetable oil will provide additional softness to the fabric fibers.
4. Salt.
Soak towels in water with added salt for several hours before washing. Salt can help loosen fabric fibers and make them softer.
5. Warm water.
When washing towels, use warm water rather than cold water. Warm water can help loosen fabric fibers and allow the detergent to work more effectively.
Make sure to wash towels with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners that contain harsh chemicals that can damage fabric fibers.
