Brilio.net - Towels are one of the items that are used almost every day. Usually, towels are used to dry the skin after bathing. Kitchen towels are also often used to dry hands after washing. Because they are often used, towels become damp and dirty easily. If not cleaned immediately, black spots (fungus) can appear on the towel.
When the towel is already moldy, its appearance will look shabby because the color becomes uneven. In addition, the towel's absorbency to dry the body will also decrease.
To wash moldy towels , it is not enough to just use detergent. Many people deliberately add citric acid to the water in which the towels are soaked. According to cleaninginstitute.org, citric acid can help remove stubborn stains on clothes, including towels.
However, the use of citric acid can sometimes cause the towel to fall out or become damaged. If this happens, the towel can no longer be used.
Alternatively, you can try the method demonstrated by YouTube user EK TV CHANEL. In the video he uploaded, he only used two kitchen ingredients to wash moldy towels. Curious about the ingredients?
At the beginning of the video, he shows the appearance of his towel. It appears that there are black spots on some parts of the towel.
"It just so happens that this pink towel was really dirty, before it was processed, the original color was no longer visible. But thank God, after it was processed, it was as clean as possible," he said, as quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Roemah Almini on Sunday (22/10).

To clean it, he mixed a special cleaning solution in a bucket. First, pour enough hot water into the bucket. Then, add two kitchen ingredients, namely 2 tablespoons of MSG and dish soap as a mixture.
"Stir well until all the ingredients dissolve in water," he explained further.

A mixture of MSG and dish soap is considered to be able to remove all stubborn stains on towels. After mixing it perfectly, put the towel in the bucket. Press the towel until it is soaked with the cleaning solution.
"If it's like this, we let it sit for about 15-20 minutes," he said.

The previously clear soaking water appears to have turned blackish after being left for 15-20 minutes. The next process, lift and wring the towel. Then brush the entire surface of the towel using bar soap to clean it maximally.

If it feels clean, immediately rinse the towel with plain water. Make sure the towel is completely clean and free from all dirt and cleaning solution residue.
