Everyone appreciates towels that are as soft as clouds – soft, absorbent and pleasant to the touch. Even if you buy quality brands such as Matějovský, Veba, Dadka or Bella Maison, over time even the highest quality ones can become hard. But before saying goodbye to your favorite towels from Jitex Comfort or Goldea, try a simple, natural trick that the professionals from Möbelix (textile line) or Homeville will tell you. Thanks to baking powder, your towels will be radiantly soft, without chemical softeners, which often leave marks and, on the contrary, stiffen the fabric.
Towels are mostly made of cotton, which, thanks to its small fibers, can absorb minerals from hard water and thus become hard. Well-known fabric softeners solve this situation chemically, but often just leave residues on the fabric, which will worsen its softness over time. On the contrary, adding baking powder during washing acts as a natural softener. It removes all detergent and mineral deposits from the fabric, leaving the towels light and fluffy, just like those from IKEA (the Czech towel distributor), which people have come to love so much.
First, carefully sort the towels by colour and density to avoid mechanical damage. Never overload the washing machine when washing – towels need space for perfect circulation of water and baking powder. For a standard load, add two tablespoons of baking powder directly to the wash compartment.
Choose a water temperature between 40-60 degrees Celsius. Warm water will ensure that the powder is completely dissolved and effective. When spinning, choose a low cycle to avoid unnecessary wear on the fibers. After washing, it is best to let the towels air dry, which will preserve their natural softness, or use a dryer on a low temperature.
If you want to increase the softness effect, try adding half a cup of baking soda along with baking soda. This natural deodorant and cleaner is great for removing odors and detergent residue. Regular maintenance of your washing machine, including cleaning the filters and drum, helps prevent the buildup of minerals and residue that could impair the quality of your towels.
Also consider occasionally rinsing your towels in cold water with vinegar, which will remove soap residue and restore their silky appearance and pleasant touch. This method is also recommended for specific brands such as Sebo and Bella Maison, so that the towels retain their softness even after many washes.
For modern living with natural and cozy elements, we recommend exploring the boho style of living, where soft, pleasant textiles play a major role.
