Terry towels are very soft and delicate to the touch. They delight householders with their beautiful appearance and pleasant sensations when used.
However, many housewives are faced with the fact that after a series of washings in the washing machine, the products become rough and lose their original appearance.
Whether this can be avoided and how to prolong the freshness and softness of bath textiles, we will look into this article.
Why do towels lose their softness?
There are several common reasons why towels become stiff.
Most often this happens due to the fact that during washing conditions are created that are not suitable 
fibers:
- the water temperature in the machine is above 60 °C;
- poor quality water composition;
- poor quality product or powder;
- high spin speeds set in the machine;
- using an iron without the possibility of simultaneous steaming.
REFERENCE! Modern fabric softeners, or rather, their residues that did not disappear during rinsing, have a negative impact on terry threads.
They dry on the fibers and cause them to become stiff. In addition, they can become a source of unpleasant odors.
Some housewives begin to wash towels by hand, trying to be more careful with textiles. But this is labor-intensive and inconvenient.
Experienced housewives have come up with several effective ways to keep the fabric soft with the addition of simple home remedies.
IMPORTANT! Such products most often include simple soda used in everyday life.
What can soda do?
Soda, scattered directly into the drum of the machine in the amount of half a glass, give a chance 
wash the product thoroughly. It works even in delicate wash mode.
Additional features of soda
- Washing away greasy stains from the surface.
- Bleaching of light-colored products.
- Removing towels from unpleasant odors.
ADVICE! To maintain the softness of the bath sheet, place special balls for washing woolen items in the drum. They will help to “fluff” the lint and leave the product soft, even after intensive cleaning.
How to use baking soda in laundry
Soda is used not only as an independent remedy, but also combined with other substances, 
capable of helping to effectively clean terry towels.
The most popular folk recipes are the following.
Salt and soda
This option is used when washing by hand in a basin. After mixing the two ingredients in water, soak a towel in this mixture. Leave it overnight and then rinse well.
This method helps get rid of stains and maintain the softness of the product.
With vinegar
Sodium bicarbonate can be used together with table vinegar 9%. They are mixed and a few drops of essential oil are added.
When washing in a machine, this composition is added to the conditioner compartment. It makes towels soft and eliminates unpleasant odors.
ADVICE! Give your towel an extra rinse with baking soda by setting the rinse and spin modes! The result will please you!
With laundry soap
- Shavings of laundry soap are poured into a pan of hot water.
- Bring it over low heat until completely dissolved.
- Then add 100 g of sodium bicarbonate there and stir thoroughly.
- When placing towels in the drum, add 100 ml of this product.
Add vegetable oil
Soaking in this mixture overnight will help rid the product of stubborn stains.
A sufficient amount of liquid is poured into a basin, liquid soap or gel is poured in and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and baking soda are diluted.
Important! After thorough cleaning, you need to iron the product. This must be done using a steamer so as not to crush the pile too much.
With the correct use of folk recipes, terry towels will remain soft and tender to the touch.
Housewives will always delight their family and guests with beautiful and pleasant to use bath sheets.
