Brilio.net - Towels are one of the items that are often used in everyday life, both for bathing and other activities. Because of their intense use, towels require proper care to remain comfortable to use. However, many people do not pay attention to how to wash towels properly, so that their quality quickly decreases.
In fact, if not washed properly, towels are at risk of becoming rough due to accumulated detergent residue or due to an improper drying process. In addition, washing with detergent that is too strong can cause the color of the towel to fade quickly, especially if it is made of a material that is sensitive to chemical exposure. As a result, towels not only look dull, but are also less comfortable to use.
To keep towels soft and bright in color, washing them the right way is the main key. Usually, some people will use fabric softener or even vinegar as additional ingredients in washing towels. Both of these ingredients are considered to be able to keep towels soft.
But for maximum results, you can use other ingredients when washing towels like Instagram user @bundacaca239 did. In one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted that she only relies on a few simple ingredients to wash towels. Some of these ingredients even come from the kitchen, you know.
As reported by brilio.net from Instagram @bundacaca239 on Thursday (9/1), the kitchen ingredients in question are dishwashing soap and salt. But not only that, she also relies on citric acid and hot water when washing towels. A number of these ingredients can keep towels soft and fragrant, you know.

To be more precise, you only need to prepare hot water in a bucket. Then mix it with enough cold water. If so, add 2 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of citric acid, and 2 tablespoons of dish soap. After that, stir all the ingredients until they are completely mixed evenly.

Next, put the towel to be washed into the bucket. Press it so that all parts of the towel are completely submerged. Then soak it for 1 hour. The soaked towel can be immediately rubbed and rinsed until clean. That way, the color of the towel will remain bright and the texture will be softer even without being soaked in vinegar or fabric softener.
