No detergent, no softener — just vinegar.
Step 2: Wash with Baking Soda
- Leave the towels in the machine (or reload them if you’ve dried them in between).
- Add ½ cup of baking soda.
- Run another hot water cycle, no vinegar or detergent this time.
🔄 Optional: Repeat every few weeks to maintain freshness and fluff.
🧺 Bonus Tips for Towel Heaven
- Dry properly: Use a dryer with wool dryer balls or hang in the sun for natural freshness.
- Avoid fabric softeners: They coat towel fibers and reduce absorbency.
- Wash towels separately from clothes to avoid lint transfer and preserve softness.
- Use less detergent: More detergent means more residue over time.
