8. The Second Wash
After the first wash with vinegar, proceed to a second wash cycle. This time, add half a cup of baking soda to the washing machine, again without any detergent. The baking soda will further clean the towels and neutralize any remaining odors. This two-step process is vital to achieving optimal softness and freshness.
9. Drying Tips
Proper drying is essential for maintaining the quality of your towels. My aunt swears by line drying her towels in the fresh Austrian air. If outdoor drying isn’t feasible, use a dryer but avoid using dryer sheets, as they can leave a film on the towels. Instead, opt for dryer balls, which help to fluff the towels and speed up drying time.
