Towels that are rarely cleaned usually look dirty . Moreover, if the base color of the towel is white, all the stains will be visible more clearly. Not infrequently, the towels smell bad. If it's like this, do you still want to use the towel?
To wash it, a number of people deliberately mix various cleaning agents, one of which is dishwashing soap.

Instead of scrubbing them with dish soap, this netizen actually made a special cleaning mixture for his dirty towels. He mixed water with two kitchen ingredients, namely baking soda and vinegar.
Put about 3 tablespoons of baking soda and 4 tablespoons of table vinegar into it, stir until evenly mixed. "Well, the water reacts and releases small foam," said the video owner.

New towels that fall out may be caused by fibers that were not tightly bound during the manufacturing process. Here are some ways to solve the problem.
1. Wash towels in cold water.
Before using a towel, wash it first with cold water. This will help remove loose fibers and reduce the chance of further shedding.
2. Use low heat when drying.
If you use a dryer, choose a low heating setting. High heat can damage towel fibers and cause more shedding.
3. Avoid bleach.
Strong bleaches can cause damage to towel fibers and cause shedding. Use a gentle detergent or choose a product designed specifically for sensitive textiles.
4. Don't overload the washing machine or dryer.
Overfilling the washer or dryer can pinch the towels and damage the fibers. Make sure to leave enough space for the towels to move freely during the washing and drying process.
5. Avoid washing with hairy clothes.
Clothes with fur or hair can stick to towel fibers and cause shedding. Separate towels from fluffy clothes when washing to reduce this problem.
By following the steps above, you can reduce or even solve the problem of new towels falling out.
