USEFUL TIPS
There's nothing quite like the feeling of hopping out of your shower all warm and clean, and being greeted by your soft, fluffy, cozy towel.
It really is the only thing that makes hopping out into the cold air worth it. Wrapping up in a soft towel is especially comforting on cold fall or winter days--you know, when the windows are all fogged up and the tree branches are empty. These moments are the little joys in life that tend to get overlooked. If taking a warm pie out of the oven could have a feeling, this is what it would be.
Even though we know them for their softness, towels actually have a pretty tough life. With the amount of friction, harsh chemicals, and other mysterious goopy products they deal with, it's not surprising that towels eventually begin to lose the plush-like properties that made us fall in love with them in the first place. Even the highest-quality towels from the best bath companies need some TLC every now and again to help bring them back to life.
Is your towel looking or feeling like it needs a little pick me up? It very well may be - and we're here to help. Here's how towels can be made soft again.
Start off strong
And by starting off strong, we also mean starting out soft.
Maintaining softness begins with starting with the best towel possible, right off the bat.
When towel shopping, look for towels that:
-
Are dense
-
Are made up of high-quality cotton
These two pointers actually go hand in hand. Higher grade cotton is naturally denser, meaning it will be thicker and better able to absorb more water--two very important towel qualities, if you ask us.
When choosing between towels, prioritize the heavier options to ensure you're maximizing the absorbency potential. A denser towel is also likely to feel more plush and cushiony - all the better for hugging you after your shower. It's sort of like we're aiming for properties similar to that of a weighted blanket.
Have you ever been a guest in someone else's home and had to use an old, paper-thin towel? Very unsatisfying. Starting out with a high-quality towel will give your towel a longer and happier shelf life.
Why did my towel lose its softness?
The main culprit for towels losing their magical softness is residue from detergents and body oils that build up within the fabric. This buildup of left-over products will cause stiffness and a rough, crackly feeling. These remnants from products also diminish your towel's ability to absorb moisture. So, what can we do about it?
Prevention and Proper Care
Maybe your towel isn't a complete lost cause yet, or maybe you just got a new towel (yay, you!). Here are some things to keep in mind that can help preserve its softness!
Cut back on the amount of detergent you use.
-
A buildup of excess laundry detergent is the main offender for towels losing their softness
-
Many people use the recommended amount, or more than that, because it isn't too crazy to think that more soap = more clean. Think again.
-
Err on the lighter side of the suggested amount of detergent. Your laundry machine will have an easier time rinsing it all out, meaning your towels won't end up carrying around any excess. No excess detergent = no residue that can harden and stiffen up your towel.
Do you have a hard water system?
-
"Hard water" is water that is dense in minerals, specifically high amounts of calcium and magnesium. Hard water is created by deposits of limestone, chalk, or gypsum.
-
Hard water makes up about 85% of America's water, so there's a high probability that this is the type of water that is in your home's system.
-
When water is especially high in minerals, it will appear slightly murky. Definitely not like the crystal-clear image we think of when we imagine a fresh, crisp glass of water.
Use the right cleaning solution.
-
Use a liquid detergent rather than a powered one. Powdered detergents attach easily to the minerals in the water, making the detergent less available to clean the actual laundry (your towels).
-
Add ½ cup of Borax to help soften the water in the load. The Borax will counteract the calcium that absorbs detergent.
Wash towels, and only towels, together.
-
By washing similar items together, it ensures that they all wash and dry evenly.
-
Keeping towels separate from the rest of your laundry means that your towels won't be rubbing up against rougher items, like jeans. Less rough housing in the laundry machine means softer towels for longer.
Don't overload each wash.
-
Not only is a full-to-the-top load strenuous on your machine, but it makes it difficult for your washer to do a proper job of rinsing out all the soap and any other products that you may use.
-
Remember that excess product is the main culprit for towels building up residue and becoming stiff and crusty. Lightening the load may be the easiest way to help prevent towels from losing their softness.
Avoid using liquid fabric softener.
-
Wait, what? This may sound counter-intuitive, but hear us out.
-
Liquid fabric softeners contain oils and other additives that can create a coating over the fabric of your towels. This filmy coating may also make you feel like washing the towels more often - your towel will become worn-down more quickly.
-
An alternative to fabric softeners? Vinegar. Use one cup of vinegar instead of detergent in a wash load every six weeks. Vinegar will act to reverse any silicone-y coating that your towels may have built up. Vinegar will also help bring back any softness that has already been lost and can even help recover some of our towel's absorbency potential.
We definitely don't give household vinegar the appreciation it deserves. Seriously, what an underdog.
But, back to business. Make sure to take these steps to make sure your new or current towels stay soft for as long as possible. But what if your towel is already stiff, crusty, and rather tree bark-like? We have solutions for that too.
How to make towels soft again
Add baking soda
-
Add ½ cup of baking soda along with your regular wash load to help bring towels back to life.
-
On top of baking soda's softening properties, it also helps eliminate odors - yay!
-
(Ok, baking soda needs some more appreciation too.)
Use a tennis ball or dryer ball
-
Adding a tennis or dryer ball into the dryer will help prevent the bumps and lumps that tend to develop throughout the cycle.
-
By softening out these bumps while the dryer is still going, it's kind of like straightening hair, except, you're straightening your towel.
h5>Use white vinegar instead of fabric softener
-
We already told you how fabric softeners can actually do the opposite of their intended use, so avoiding using them in the first place is a good start.
-
On top of preventing crustiness, white vinegar can also help reverse it.
-
Try swapping out the fabric softener for 1 cup of white vinegar in its place. You can go ahead and pour it right into the fabric softener compartment. **For this load, don't use any detergent, just the vinegar.
-
Bonus - white vinegar also helps combat bacterial growth.
Soft towels are important!
It's a harsh world out there--we don't need to be stepping out of our showers into harsh towels. A super plush, super soft towel is what everyone deserves. We would never want you stepping out of the shower to be greeted by anything less!

How to soften towels and keep them soft – for luxury every day
(Image credit: Future / Davide Lovatti)
Knowing how to soften towels will allow you to create the wonderful feel they had when they were brand new, restoring the pile that spells luxury after a bath or shower.
Regular washing and drying can make the fibers of towels stiff and scratchy, but knowing which washing temperatures to use, how to load the washing machine, and which products to opt for can restore softness to towels, and keep them that way.
Good laundry room ideas will create a space with everything you need to soften towels and keep them soft for a spa feel at home, and our guide will give you the lowdown.
How to soften towels and keep them soft
Knowing how to soften towels that are no longer a pleasure to use and the methods for retaining their fluffiness will make them kinder on the whole family’s skin. Do bear in mind also that learning how to use towels correctly and buying good quality versions in the first place is important.
‘Choose high quality cotton towels to provide absorbency, durability and that coveted cozy texture,' says Lucy Ackroyd, head of design at Christy , inventors of the towel as we know it today.
'The higher the weight, the more opulent they will feel. I would suggest choosing a towel with a weight of at least 500gsm (grams per sq metre) for the ultimate luxury experience.
'The most important factor for luxuriously soft towels is the yarn used and you ideally want a high quality cotton spun from long silky fibers. This is why yarns like Egyptian cotton and Supima cotton are so sought after as they guarantee long fibers and, therefore, high quality.
1. Soften towels with vinegar
(Image credit: Future / Carolyn Barber)
The expert-recommended way to soften towels that have become scratchy is to use vinegar. ‘Throw a cup of white vinegar in your next wash,’ advises textiles expert and CEO of New Sega Home, Brian Delp.
The towels have likely become stiff and scratchy because of the use of fabric softener. While adding this to the wash might seem like a sound idea, it actually has an adverse effect on towels. ‘The fabric softener can actually build up residue over time. This prevents their absorbency and can cause them to dry out as well as preventing their natural softening from use,’ Brian explains.
Don’t worry if this treatment doesn’t work after just one wash. ‘Depending on how extensive the buildup is, you may have to repeat this step,’ he says.
2. Allow time to soften towels
Fabrics soften over time, and towels are no different, so be patient. ‘Your favorite worn-out T-shirt wasn’t as soft on day one as it is today,’ says Brian Delp. ‘Assuming that your towels are cotton, linen, or some other natural fiber, they will get softer with each wash.’
3. How to use the washing machine to keep towels soft
In order to keep them soft, it’s important to wash towels the right way. The general rule? ‘Make sure to wash your towels separately to your other laundry to avoid any color or fibers transferring on to your beautiful pristine towels,’ says Lucy Ackroyd.
Want to wash towels with clothes or wash sheets and towels together? It is possible to create a mixed load if you need to in order to save energy, but to keep towels at their fluffiest, keeping them separate is the best strategy.
Bear in mind, too, that new towels shouldn’t be washed with those you already own. ‘Mixing brand new and seasoned towels can lead to the transfer of color between different fabrics,’ says Lily Cameron, cleaning supervisor at Fantastic Cleaners .
To keep towels soft, it’s also crucial not to overload the washing machine. ‘The towels need plenty of room within the drum to breathe and circulate, allowing them to be rinsed and fluffed up properly,’ says Lucy. ‘If you try to stuff too many in, you’ll end up with a clumped-together heap with moisture pockets throughout, leading to scratchy, stiff towels.’
How much is too much? ‘A typical front-loading washing machine can hold around seven bath towels, and a top-loading machine can hold around 10,’ says Bonnie Fisher of Better World Apparel , which works to bring awareness about increasing products’ life cycles.
4. Use the right amount of detergent
Cleaning tips on keeping towels soft include not adding too much detergent to the wash, which can mean it’s not thoroughly removed during the rinse cycle. ‘Cut back on your detergent,’ says Jessica Samson from Maids.com . ‘Using too much detergent can stiffen your towels up and take away their softness.’
To keep towels fluffy, Lucy Ackroyd is a fan of eucalyptus-based detergent. ‘Not only will this leave them smelling super fresh, the eucalyptus will also protect the fibers of the towel and ensure the colors stay bright and fresh,’ she says.
Thinking of using bleach? ‘Yes, bleach can remove the stains on white towels, but it can also make the colors fade and even cause permanent damage to the fabrics, destroying the towels,’ says Lily Cameron.
5. Skip the fabric softener
Along with too much detergent, as we noted above, fabric softener can make towels scratchy so skip it entirely or cut back to keep towels feeling soft.
‘If you are using a fabric softener, only use a small amount as overuse of softeners and conditioners will build up over time, leaving towels feeling slick and non-absorbent,’ says Lucy Ackroyd.
6. Perfect the wash temperature
For soft, fluffy towels, pay attention to the wash temperature, checking the laundry symbols on the labels of all towels before they go into the machine. ‘Each towel is different and requires different treatment,’ says Jessica Samson. ‘Be sure to read the label before washing so that you can maximize the effectiveness of the wash and prevent ruining the towel.’
7. Shake towels out to maintain softness

Shaking your towels is a simple, quick step in your washing routine that can have a huge impact on their softness.
'First, before you put your towels in the washing machine, give them a good shake. This will open up the fibers slightly, allowing the detergent to sink inside every pore and make them super clean,’ says Lucy Ackroyd.
Shake again for maximum softness. ‘At the end of the drying cycle, or before hanging them outside if you are line drying, shake the towels a second time,’ says Lucy. ‘The act of shaking will loosen the fibers of the fabric, making your towels super plush and fluffy.’
8. Mix up your drying methods
(Image credit: Future / Mark Luscombe-Whyte)
To keep towels soft don’t dry them on radiators if you heat your home this way; this will lead to a rough finish, exactly what you are trying to avoid.
‘Alternate between tumble drying and line drying,’ advises Lucy Ackroyd. ‘The best way to get super fluffy towels is tumble drying immediately after a wash, however overuse can make the fabric wear down over time.
'To combat the effect of the tumble dryer, line dry your towels occasionally. Not only does line drying leave your towels with a fresh natural scent, but the sunlight can also have a bleaching effect which is perfect if you have white towels. The UV rays can even help kill bacteria.’
9. Store for success

Once you’ve perfected the washing and drying routine, the final step in keeping towels soft is storing them correctly. When thinking about how to design a bathroom, factor in suitable storage for towels, such as shelving or cabinets. Or perhaps even a towel rack or rail.
To store, you can roll towels, which can be space saving, or fold towels. ‘Rather than folding your towels one on top of the other, as many people do, try neatly folding them side by side instead,’ suggests Lucy Ackroyd. ‘This simple storage hack will prevent the bottom towels from being crushed which can lead to them losing that plush, full effect that you have achieved.
‘If you prefer to store your towels on a towel rack or ladder shelf, you should also avoid placing them on top of each other. Again, this will flatten the bottom ones, leaving them stiff and flat.’
Add a few drops of lavender or other essential oil to towels before storing to keep them smelling gorgeous.
Why are my towels hard and scratchy?
A combination of factors makes towels hard and scratchy, including the use of fabric softeners, and an excess of detergent. But another reason could be the hard water in your area. ‘Hard water is water that contains minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which makes cleaning your clothes more difficult,’ explains Corey Trojanowski of ARS/Rescue Rooter . And the same goes for towels.
A water softener can help – and prevent limescale buildup in the washing machine and other appliances – but otherwise, try using a cup of white vinegar in the washing machine to soften towels.
How do you soften towels after line drying?
To soften towels after line drying, put them into the dryer briefly. ‘We suggest tossing them in the dryer for a quick “no-heat” fluff if they feel a little stiff,’ says Bonnie Fisher. This will still bring the benefits of line drying and reduces energy bills compared to a full drying cycle.
Otherwise, you actually need to take action before putting the towels on the line. Shake them first, which will keep the towels softer by loosening the fibers before they begin drying.

How to make towels soft after washing
Any textile, including terry towels, requires careful care. A new product will retain softness and elasticity for a long time if it is washed, dried and ironed correctly. Otherwise, even an expensive high-quality thing can quickly turn into a hard, washed-out rag. If, after drying, the towel has become rough and prickly, does not absorb moisture well and literally "is worth a stake", you should not be very upset and immediately send the item to the scrap. There are several ways to restore the original appearance of the product and return the softness lost after washing.
Why does terry cloth get rough
In addition to its advantages, terry cloth also has disadvantages - it takes a long time to dry and becomes rough over time.Terry cloth is the most commonly used for bath towels. Due to the loose structure, soft long pile, natural composition, various density, this type of fabric has unique properties that distinguish it from other materials. Due to the large surface of the villi, terry towels perfectly absorb water and massage the body, have a lasting color, and do not cause allergies.
However, terry cloth has its drawbacks:
- The villi are not resistant to mechanical stress, and when hooked, they quickly stretch into long loops.
- Due to the high density, the fabric takes a long time to dry and wrinkle easily.
Terry towels can be washed either in the machine or by hand. The main thing is to follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the product label. Roughening of the fabric after washing occurs for the following reasons:
- In many regions, tap water contains a large amount of lime salts, which makes it hard. Salts and other impurities settle in the fibers of the fabric, clog the air gaps, which significantly worsen the quality of the textile, making the towels rough.
- Terry cloth does not like washing with detergent. Powder particles are poorly washed out of the fleecy structure of the material, so it is better to use special liquid products.
- Incorrectly selected wash cycle, too hot water and a rapidly rotating drum of the machine can also cause roughening of the terry cloth.
- Boiling terry products.
- Drying towels on radiators and other heating devices.
In addition, the wear resistance of textiles directly depends on the quality of the fabric - the denser the pile, the longer the towels will remain soft and fluffy.
How to make a towel softer
A towel will become softer if you add a little salt to the powder when washing.If, after washing, the towel has become so rough that it cannot be used for its intended purpose, urgent measures must be taken to restore the structure of the material. This can be done in the following ways:
- A hard-feeling towel is immersed in cold water and soaked for 12 hours. Then the product is rinsed in warm water and, after slightly squeezing out excess moisture, hang out to dry. Water will dissolve and remove the smallest particles of powder that have lingered between the fibers of the terry cloth after the main rinse. As a result, the towel will become more fluffy and pleasant.
- Cooking (better sea) salt will help correct the situation. When machine washing, it is added to the powder and the products are washed in a delicate mode. In manual cleaning, salt is used during rinsing. Salt crystals are dissolved in a container with warm water at the rate of 1 tbsp. l. per 1 liter of water and thoroughly rinse the towels in saline solution. Soaking for several hours in a solution prepared from sea salt and water, taken in a proportion of 3 tbsp, helps to restore the original appearance of terry textiles. l. powder per 1 liter of liquid.
- With the help of tea soda, terry towels damaged by improper washing can be restored. To do this, they must be soaked for 1 hour in a soda solution (3 tablespoons of soda per 1 liter of water) and then rinsed well in clean cool water. When machined, baking soda can be added to the conditioner compartment and an additional rinse can be carried out. This will not only soften the fibers of the material, but also remove stubborn stains and unpleasant odors.
- Dry hard towel can be steamed. This is easiest to do with a steam generator or a regular iron.
The methods listed above will allow you to revive damaged towels, although this will require a lot of time and effort. To save yourself from unnecessary work, you must be able to properly wash and dry terry cloth products.
How to wash and dry towels
Do not overdry towels.In order for bath towels to serve for a long time and always remain as if they were just bought in a store, you need to know a few secrets and do not forget about them when starting the next wash.
- Before loading terry cloth into the drum of the washing machine, make sure that clothes with iron hooks and rivets do not get into it. Sharp pieces of hardware can catch on the hinges and tear or damage the product. It is best to wash terry towels separately from other things.
- Do not fully load the drum of the machine and turn on the water saving mode. Products should occupy no more than 2/3 of the volume.
- For washing it is better to use special gels or liquid detergents.
- If washing powder is used for cleaning, additional rinsing must be carried out several times.
- Do not get carried away with bleaches, they should be used only in extreme cases and only for white fabrics.
- 9% table vinegar can be used to soften hard water. It is added to the drum of the machine in an amount of 100 ml per 10 liters of water.
- Towels are washed on a delicate cycle at a water temperature not exceeding +60 °C. The shorter the wash, the softer the fabric will be after drying.
- When choosing a conditioner for washing terry clothes, silicone-based products should be preferred.
Important! Terry towels should never be boiled. If the product has difficult soiling, they must be removed with a stain remover or other suitable product before washing.
When washing fluffy bath towels, many housewives use special rubber balls that are placed in the drum of the machine along with dirty clothes. The balls rotate with the laundry, breaking the fibers and preventing the items from bunching up.
Wring out terry cloth products at a low speed. If it is possible to dry clothes outside, you can not wring out the towels at all, but just let the water drain spontaneously and hang them up to dry. Without excessive twisting, the terry will only become softer.
Dry bath towels both in a vertical position, hanging on a rope, and in a horizontal position, spreading out on a flat surface. It is better to hang clothes on the street or on the balcony, as terry cloth loves fresh air, and the thing dried in this way acquires not only softness, but also a pleasant smell. The main thing is not to dry out the towels by hanging them under the scorching sun.
By following the rules for washing and drying terry cloth products, you can keep your towels in good shape for several years, enjoy their softness and feel comfortable.
Why are towels stiff after washing in the machine and how can I fix it?
Soft and fluffy terry clothes are an indispensable component of home comfort. Often, housewives wonder why, after washing, towels become hard and rough to the touch? How to avoid such troubles?
Terry products can become stiff for several reasons. What needs to be done so that after washing they remain soft and fluffy and how to return the already coarsened fabric to its original qualities?
Reasons why towels become hard
The fabric can become rough and unpleasant to the touch in both machine and hand washing. True, it is much easier to ruin a towel when washing in a machine - after all, manual processing cleans the material more carefully, and your hands will not allow you to use too hot water and low-quality powders.
The deterioration of the quality of terry clothes occurs for several reasons.
- Hard water. Unfortunately, in most regions of our country, the water contains a significant amount of lime salts. Settling in the fibers of the fabric, they degrade the quality of any material. Hard water needs to be softened. How to do this, we will tell a little lower.
- Detergent quality. In this regard, terry is a rather capricious material that does not like powders. Therefore, it is best to resort to the help of liquid laundry detergents.
- Wrong washing mode - too hot water, poor rinsing, spinning at high speeds.
- Incorrect handling. Some housewives manage to boil terry towels or iron them without a steamer. Doing this is strongly discouraged.
So how do you wash terrycloth clothes so as not to impair their original properties?
Fabric softener and liquid detergent will prevent damage to towels
How do you wash towels to keep them soft?
To keep your towels soft and fluffy after washing, treat them with care. Here are some secrets for handling terry products. Put them into practice - and your towels and bathrobes will never become hard and rough.
- Use quality, expensive laundry products. Terry products do not tolerate washing with powders, so opt for liquid products. It is better if they are marked "environmentally friendly", that is, without phosphates and chlorine.
- If you still wash with powder, then use the extra rinse function. Rinse terry products after the powder should be three to four times. This will help wash out the chemicals that have settled there from the villi of the fabric.
- Use bleaches only on light-coloured garments and only when necessary. It is better to bleach soiled items separately before or after washing.
- Now about the quality of water. If the water in your area is hard, then ordinary table vinegar will help soften it. Add with each wash 100-200 ml per 10 liters of water. When machine washing, half a cup of vinegar can be poured into the conditioner compartment - this will soften the water in the last rinse.
- Machine wash should be gentle. Wash terry clothes at a temperature not exceeding 40 ° C. Set the minimum washing time - after all, towels are not as dirty as outerwear, so it is enough to scroll them on a fast setting.
Attention!
Terry towels must not be boiled. To remove stubborn dirt, soak overnight in double the amount of detergent and wash in the morning.
- Do not use water saving modes.
- Load the machine drum up to a maximum of 2/3 of the capacity.
- Do not use regular fabric softener on terry cloth. Use silicone-based rinses or fabric softeners for baby clothes. If you purchased a silicone rinse, do not overdo it with the amount - it reduces the absorption of moisture by the towel.
To ensure optimal washing conditions, buy special plastic balls from the store. They are loaded into the drum of the machine along with the laundry, and during the washing process they mechanically break the terry fibers, making the towel again soft and delicate to the touch.
Spin mode
When using the delicate wash cycle, don't forget to spin. Terry products are not recommended to wring out at high speeds of the drum. The maximum you can set is 500 rpm. If you have no problems with drying and you are sure that the towels will not rot due to slow drying, then use the 300-350 rpm setting.
It is possible not to wring out the towel at all. Use no spin cycles or programs for wool. After the end of the washing process, remove the clothes from the machine, wring out lightly and hang to drain. The fabric washed in this way will be softer and fluffier.
Proper drying
Another important point is the proper drying of terry products.
- Towels can be dried both vertically and horizontally. Give your towel a good shake before hanging it on the dryer to get rid of any fluff.
- Terry products are very fond of fresh air. If possible, dry them outside - so they not only retain their softness, but also acquire a wonderful smell.
- Terry can also be dried in an electric tumble dryer. Such drying will not make them hard, but on the contrary, will give the product softness.
- Do not overdry towels - this also makes terrycloths rough to the touch.
As mentioned above, ironing towels is not recommended. But if such a need nevertheless arose, use the steaming mode at a temperature not exceeding 150 ° C. It is also good to use the vertical steam function.
How to make a towel soft again?
What about old clothes or towels that suddenly become hard and rough? The following recipes will help return the mahr to its former softness.
- If the towel has become stiff due to detergent, soak it in cold water overnight, then rinse and hang to dry. Water will wash away the remaining powder from the villi and make the product softer.
- Old towels can be soaked after washing in a salt solution for 20-30 minutes. Also, salt can be added during washing to the powder compartment at the rate of 1-2 tablespoons per 4-5 kg of laundry.
And finally, a few more tips for caring for terry towels.
- Do not throw used towels into the general bin. They will absorb unpleasant odors from dirty clothes.
- Wash wet towels immediately or hang them to dry before putting them in the laundry tub.
