Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| White vinegar | 100ml |
| Freshly squeezed lemon juice | 3 lemons |
Instructions:
- Pre-Wash Preparation:
- Mix 100ml of white vinegar with the freshly squeezed and filtered juice of three lemons.
- Pour the mixture into the cold pre-wash compartment of your washing machine.
- Washing:
- Run a cycle with the vinegar and lemon juice mixture, ensuring not to exceed the recommended amount of detergent.
- Rinse the towels thoroughly after the wash cycle.
- Drying:
- Pay attention to the drying phase. Avoid leaving the towels in the sun for an extended period, as this can lead to hardness.
Why This Works:
- Lime Deposits: Lime in wash water is a common cause of towel stiffness. White vinegar prevents mineral salts from getting trapped in the fibers, combating the build-up of lime deposits.
- Natural Softening: Both white vinegar and lemon juice act as natural fabric softeners without the use of harsh chemicals. They contribute to the softness and elasticity of towels.
- Odor Prevention: These natural ingredients not only soften but also prevent bad odors, leaving your towels fresh and pleasant.
