The toothbrush trick to soften old and hard towels


Soft towels are a pleasure to wrap ourselves in when we get out of the shower or bath, a hug, a warm embrace, but when they are old the shock with reality is very hard!

The fibers, with the passage of time, stretch and stand up, taking away any type of joy.

Bringing them back like new, with grandma’s remedies, is a girl’s game, or rather a game of Donna Up.

This is how we should get all the softness we deserve!

The toothbrush trick to soften old, hard towels

Before revealing the toothbrush trick to soften towels, it is good to stop at the washing and drying that we must reserve for them if we want to keep them intact.

Read the label carefully before starting.

Let’s start with fabric softener, a surefire ingredient for success.

It is better not to resort to industrial ones, but to use natural remedies. Try this: pour 150 grams of citric acid into a liter of water, then add 10 drops of essential oil. Choose your favorite according to your personal tastes, for our part, we recommend the always loved lavender.

Transfer 100 ml of this solution to the washing machine tray and start the cycle.

You can also use baking soda, which is especially perfect for light-colored clothes. Just 1 tablespoon in the basket and you’re done.

Or try lemon juice, perfect for whitening and softening. Until the last century, it was the remedy par excellence for washerwomen.

Strain it and place just 1 teaspoon in the detergent drawer.

Finally, for a fresh scent and guaranteed softness, you can opt for tea tree oil, add 1 teaspoon to a cup of vinegar and pour it into the tray. Then start washing.

Also pay attention to drying, remove them from the drying rack only when they are completely dry, but they should not be overdried!

To do this, once you have done all these steps, put this simple trick into practice.

Equip yourself with a nail brush, it is the most suitable due to its rectangular shape, easy to handle.

Beat the towels well and place them on a horizontal surface, gently rub the fibers with the toothbrush to lift them slightly, they will regain their softness in an instant!

Brilliant, right?
