The biggest mistake people make when washing their towels is using too much detergent. You might think you need more than you really do, so if your towels are rough, try cutting back. Excess detergent builds up within the fibers of your towels, and that makes them stiff. So use a little less than you think you need.

Another tip for getting softer towels is to wash all your towels together, with no other clothing items. You really will use less water and save on energy costs, plus you will avoid having lint build up on the rest of your clothes.

When you do wash your towels, use hot water. The reason? Hot water helps the detergent dissolve thoroughly so it doesn’t build up on the towels. And it doesn’t hurt to make sure they are getting really clean of dirt, sweat and bacteria that towels tend to harbor.

With Vinegar

The number one way to get softer towels is NOT with fabric softener, believe it or not! The number one way to softer towels is to add one cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. This helps fight detergent build-up, plus it also fights hard water deposits and minerals from building up and roughing up the towel fibers. {And it doesn’t leave a scent behind}. So skip the fabric softener and buy vinegar instead: you’ll save a lot of money!

Want to save some money? Why not make your own laundry soap?

    Can you put vinegar in a front load washing machine? Also, how can you put vinegar in the rinse cycle of a front loading washer.

      I’m sure you can put the vinegar in where you would put bleach or fabric softener. You should be able to just put the vinegar in and then run the washer!

    I use vinegar in the fabric softener slot and my towels have never been so nice, it takes a few washes to get rid of all that soap build up, in fact I use it in all my laundry loads.
