Do you dream of having soft and fluffy towels like never before? Achieving soft and smooth towels might sound unbelievable, but you likely have the solution in your pantry. And what’s the best ingredient ever? White wine vinegar!
Soft Towels: How to Revive Old and Rough Ones
You only need a few spoonful of white wine vinegar to make your towels incredibly soft, even after drying. Pour about 3 tablespoons into the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine. If you have a heavy load of laundry, you can use a bit more vinegar. Then, run the regular wash cycle, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results.
Another useful ingredient to have with you is baking soda. Simply add a kitchen spoon of baking soda to your laundry, and then start your preferred washing cycle.

Citric acid is another option for softening your laundry. Dissolve 160-170 grams of citric acid in a liter of warm water. If you want to add a touch of fragrance, include some essential oil, but do not exceed 9 or a maximum of 10 drops. Mix the solution and add 4 tablespoons of it to the washing machine’s detergent compartment before starting the wash cycle. You can store the remaining solution in a glass jar for future use. With a little effort, you will have soft and delicate garments.
Finally, I recommend Marseille soap. Break it into flakes and place them in the washing machine’s basket or detergent drawer before running a normal wash cycle. It’s a simple and effective method that can help maintain your clothes and towels in excellent condition, just like our grandmothers used to.
