Wash towels without fabric softener (it coats fibers and causes buildup)
Add 1 cup vinegar to the rinse cycle
Dry on low heat—high heat can make clean towels feel rough
Pro Tip: Do a monthly vinegar strip wash: Run an empty hot cycle with 2 cups vinegar to clean your machine and prevent residue transfer.
3. For Eliminating Odors (Gym Clothes, Diapers, Musty Towels)
Pre-soak stinky items in 1 gallon warm water + 1 cup vinegar for 30 minutes
Then wash as usual, adding another ½ cup vinegar to the rinse cycle
Never mix vinegar with baking soda in the same wash—they neutralize each other and create salt residue!
