- 2 tablespoons of baking soda (18 g)
Preparation
The preparation is very simple. All you need is a container in which to mix the various ingredients.
- Combine the liter of water with half a liter of vinegar. We opt for white vinegar to make sure the garments don’t lose color.

Curiosities and advice
Vinegar is one of the best natural softeners we can use for our clothes and especially our towels. The latter, in fact, retain moisture and if we do not dry them well after use, they give off a bad smell that does not go away even after washing. White vinegar is the best product to overcome this problem.
It is also used to clean difficult objects and areas of the house, such as the kitchen or bathroom. Although it has a very strong odor, it disappears when dry. This is why it is a great remedy for removing stains and removing bad odors.
If some towels have large stains, apply some vinegar. Leave for ten minutes and then wash as usual.
Tips for washing towels
- The ideal is to wash them with cold water, white vinegar, lemon and scented ammonia. This mixture will ensure a pleasant smell.
- Do not use industrial fabric softeners or detergents in abundance. While it may seem like a contradiction, if we add too much detergent to the washing machine, the towels may not wash properly.
- If you don’t have a dryer, let the towels dry in the open air and not in a place with poor ventilation. Remember that they must dry well before being stored in the drawers to avoid the bad smell of humidity.
- Do not wash many towels together and do not add them to large loads in the washing machine. You may make cleaning difficult and you may have to wash the clothes again.
