Reasons why towels become stiff

The material can become rough and unpleasant to the touch both with manual and machine wash. True, to load a terry garment when washing in a typewriter is much easier - after all, manual processing more carefully cleans the material, and hands will not allow using too hot water and substandard powders.

The deterioration in the quality of terry towels can occur for the following reasons:

• Too hard water. Unfortunately, our tap water in its composition has a significant amount of calcareous salts. Thus, settling in the fibers of the fabric, they make the quality of any material worse. Hard water should be softened. How to do it right - we'll talk just below.
• The quality of the detergent. In this respect, mahr - capricious material, which reacts poorly to powders. Therefore, the best option for washing terry products will be liquid funds.
• Incorrect washing mode - very hot water, bad rinsing, spinning at too high a speed.
• Wrong treatment - some of the mistresses manage to boil terry things or iron with an iron without a steamer. So you can not do it categorically.

Proper towel washing

To make towels soft and fluffy, you must treat them carefully. Here are some tips for handling terry things. With the use of them in practice, your bathrobes and towels will not become coarse and stiff:

• Use only expensive, high-quality products for washing. Terry things do not tolerate washing with powders, so only use liquid detergents. It is better - if the package will be marked "environmentally friendly", that is, without chlorine and phosphate.
• If you still use the powder, then use the "additional rinse" function. Rinse things after the powder should be three to four times. This will help to rinse out the materials that have settled in them from the villi materials in them.
• Use bleach only for light items and only as needed. Dirty things are best bleached separately, before washing.
• Water quality is also important. If your water pipe is too hard water, then soften it can be with the usual table vinegar. With each wash, add 100-200 ml of vinegar to 10 liters of water. With machine washing, 0.5 cup of vinegar can be poured into the cuvette for the conditioner - so you soften the water at the last rinse.
• Choose a gentle machine wash. Washing of terry towels in a washing machine should take place at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees. Ask for minimum washing time, because, as a rule, towels are not so much contaminated as outerwear, so it is enough to wash them in a quick mode.

Important! Products from makhra can not be boiled. To clean them from persistent and chronic dirt, soak them overnight with a double amount of liquid powder, and in the morning wash.

• Drum unit load a maximum of ⅔ volume.
• Do not use the "water saving" mode.
• For terry products, it is undesirable to use a conventional air conditioner. Use silicone-based rinse aid or conditioner for baby clothes. If you bought a silicone conditioner, do not overdo it with the amount - it reduces the absorbency of the towel moisture.

Important! Make the towels soft and fluffy will help special plastic balls. Of the machines put in the drum with laundry, and during washing they break up the terry fibers, making the product again soft and soft to the touch.

Extraction mode

Using a gentle washing mode, we should not forget about spinning:

• It is undesirable to wring out double things at high revolutions of the drum. The maximum that can be set is 500 rpm.
• If you do not have problems with drying and you are absolutely sure that towels are not prohibited because of slow drying, you can use the 300-350 speed mode.
• Towels can not be squeezed. Use wool programs or modes without spinning. After the washing is completed, remove the items from the machine, squeeze it slightly and hang it down. Thus, the washed fabric will be more fluffy and soft.

Proper drying

Another important point is the correct drying of the products from the mahrya:

• Dry towels can be used both vertically and horizontally. Before you hang a thing on the dryer, shake it well so that all the villi are straightened.
• Terry things like to be outdoors very much. If possible, dry them in the open air - so they will not only retain their softness, but they will smell wonderful.
• Makhro can be dried using an electric drying machine. Such drying will not make them hard, on the contrary - will give things softness. Do not dry the towels - it also contributes to the burrowing of the villi.

Important! As already mentioned above, ironing the towels with an iron is undesirable. But if this need arose, do it in the steaming mode at a temperature not exceeding 150 degrees.
