Brilio.net - The softness of a towel has a significant impact on the comfort of its user. Continuous use of towels can cause the texture to change to rough. Various factors such as the accumulation of detergent residue, minerals from hard water, and improper washing and drying methods contribute to these changes in texture.
The discomfort caused by rough textured towels often prompts people to throw them away or repurpose them as kitchen rags. The rough condition of towels can actually be restored to their softness through the right washing method. The process of restoring the softness of towels should not use detergent because the residue can actually worsen the texture of the fabric fibers.
Fitri Rahmawati has shared an effective method to restore the softness of towels through her personal Facebook account. The method only uses ingredients that are easily found in the kitchen. The use of kitchen ingredients has proven effective in the process of washing towels to restore their softness.
As reported by BrilioFood from Facebook Fitri Rahmawati on Friday (1/11), the kitchen ingredients used to clean towels are salt, dish soap, and table vinegar. In the video, she admitted to using coarse salt which has stronger abrasive properties. That way, the residue on the towel will be easier to lift.
Vinegar acts as a towel softener and helps remove musty odors. On the other hand, dish soap will help remove all dirt and make towels cleaner and fragrant.

Well, how to use these ingredients is very simple. Put salt, dish soap, and vinegar to taste in a bucket. Then pour hot water and stir until all ingredients are dissolved.

Next, put in the rough towel to be washed. Press it gently so that all parts of the towel are completely submerged. If so, let it sit for 1 hour or until the water temperature starts to cool.

Once soaked, rub and wash the towel as usual. Don't forget to rinse with water until it is completely clean and there is no soap residue left. After that, dry the towel until dry. That way, the towel will be soft again and comfortable to use.
