The 'correct' way to wash towels as expert warns against machine mistakes

dailyrecord.co.uk:

If you've ever reached for a soft towel after a shower, only to grab on to a rough, scratchy piece of fabric, then it may be that you're not washing them "correctly".It's normal for towel to get less fluffy with every wash and this is usually down to an accumulation of detergent which brings down their quality.

However, one expert has explained how you can avoid this, but only if you wash them the "right" way.According to Deyan Dimitrov, CEO of Laundryheap, there are a few things you must avoid at the washing machine to keep your towels feeling like new.

These include overloading the appliance, adding too much detergent and using the wrong cycle.“To ensure that your towels are soft and absorbent when you get out of the shower or bath, you must ensure that you are washing them correctly," he told the Express.“When starting a towel wash, it is important to not overload the machine so that each towel is rinsed properly.

For the average size washing machine, a load of seven bath towels is about the maximum you should wash at any one time."For hygiene reasons, make sure to use hot water and a normal washing cycle to get rid of any germs.”While some machines may have a quick wash option, it is best to avoid this when washing towels and bedding.
