Easy Ways To Solve Usual Towel Problems

Every single day if your life you make use of your towel to dry your hair and body after taking a bath or a shower. On a weekly basis, it's advisable that you wash your towel to keep it clean and smelling fresh. Just like the clothes and other garments you wear every day, there are also common problems you will experience with regards to the towel you use. 


Now I will share with you what I have read from Good Housekeeping about the 5 Common Towel Problems you are going to encounter and the ways you can solve them.

1. Towels Smelling Musty

Who would like to use a towel with a foul smell? Of course, you wouldn't want it to dry you up after taking a nice bath or shower. If you already notice that your towel is smelling bad, you need to wash them during your next laundry. And to make sure it will become odor free try washing it using a hot water mix with 1 to 2 cups of vinegar. After doing so, you can wash it with the laundry detergent you use and soak it in water with fabric conditioner for few minutes before hanging it to dry. 

2. Towels Do Not Dry Well

If you notice whenever you make use of new towels, it kinda take quite some time before they become fully dry. The best way you can do to increase its absorbency is to wash and dry your towels five times or more. Just always remember to hang your towel and let it dry fully every time you use it and after you wash it. Do not fold and keep your towel yet if they are still wet because it will create a bad smell.

3. Towels Are Shedding Lint All Over

Just like the second towel problem, the best solution you can do once you notice that your towel, especially the new ones is shedding lint on the bathroom including on your body is to wash them in order to remove the loose fibers it has. 

4. Towels Are Fading

Through time, the towels you use will surely fade. However, you can always keep it bright, colorful, and looking new by washing your towels once they are dirty. It is also helpful that for the first time you wash your towels, you add in vinegar together with the detergent you use. But always remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the proper way of washing and drying of your towels. If bleaching is not allowed, do not ever try it because it will only weaken the fibers on your towel causing it to be less absorbent.

5. Towels Feel Like Sandpaper

Of course you wouldn't like to use your towel that feels like a loofah. It is actually common for old towels to feel rough through time but you can always make it soft again by drying your towel using a fabric softener sheet.
