I tried washing old towels following MY GRANDMOTHER’S ADVICE and the result amazed me: the towels are soft and fluffy again like in an ad!

This will ensure a thorough rinsing of the fabrics.

Also, don’t add an excessive amount of washing products, especially bleaches and fabric softeners.

They coat the fibres with a layer of wax that forms with each additional wash and reduces the absorbency of the fabric.

How to protect the colour of cloths from fading? Cloth manufacturers recommend washing coloured cloths every three to four days.

But if the cloths are dried in a well-ventilated place away from a humid environment, you can wash them once a week.

An electric cloth rack is ideal for drying cloths daily.

Wash cloths separately from other clothes as they tend to absorb colours.

They can also release lint that sticks to clothes.

It’s especially important to separate white cloths from any colored textiles.

Using fabric softener on cloths can shorten their lifespan, as while they can soften the fabric, they also reduce its absorbency.

Here are some tricks to help you keep your cloths soft and pleasant to the touch.
