Simple Laundry Hack for Fluffy Towels

• Do not use too much detergent. If you put too much, it will start coating it and lose the absorbency.
• Use less fabric softener or no fabric softener at all. Although fabric softeners, make your towels smell nice, you are basically putting a layer of chemicals on top. If you want a soft towel, you don’t need fabric softeners. You can put a little bit but do not overuse it.

• Wash towels with cool water. Hot water can damage the fiber composition of your towels and can also make them shrink.
• Do not over-dry them and do not use high heat. Take your towels out just before it’s fully dried. Using high heat when drying just like with hot water, can damage the fibers, making them rough and less absorbent.
