Method of softening towel
1, pour the rice washing water (the first time and the second time) into the pot, put the towel in and cook it for a while. After doing this, the towel will turn white, soften, become thicker than before, and have a faint smell of rice.
2. Put the towel in the hot water of washing liquid, boil or scald for 5 minutes, and then wash it while it is hot.
3. Wash towels frequently and cook them with soap, washing powder or lye for a few minutes every once in a while to prevent them from hardening. When boiling, the towel should be completely immersed in water to avoid oxidation in contact with air and reduce softness.
4. When washing the towel, put the towel in strong soap solution, vinegar water or alkaline water and boil it for a while. When cooking, soap should drown the towel. Then rinse with clean water and warm water several times in turn, and dry with water in a ventilated place. After drying, the towel will become soft again. Need to be reminded that towels should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, and it is best to put them in a ventilated place to dry naturally.
5. Scientific disinfection method of towel: first boil the towel with boiling water for about 10 minute, then wash it with soap, and then wash it with clear water. Finally, fold the towel and put it in the microwave oven for 5 minutes.
6, the best way is to use vinegar essence, put vinegar essence in the solution of 1: 4, not too much water, directly sprinkle it on the towel, soak it for 5 minutes, then scrub it and rinse it with clear water.
Precautions:
1, used towels must be "hung up"
Humidity is the "enemy" of towels, because many things in life are prone to mildew, including towels. And after the towel is used up, no matter how hard we wring it out, there will still be some moisture. So be sure to hang the towel on the towel bar, so that the water in the towel can volatilize well, reduce the odor and prevent the bacteria from growing.
2, often clean, keep dry
There are many small towels in the market. Different fabrics and brands have different water absorption and water storage, mainly due to the annular terry covered on the surface of the fabric. Towels with many loops and high height have better water absorption, softer and longer service life. But no matter what material the towel is, it should be cleaned frequently and kept dry to ensure the towel is clean.
3. Avoid overheating when washing. Wash dark towels and light towels separately. Do not wash towels with clothes containing zippers, hooks or buttons, so as not to damage the towel ring. Don't wash towels and clothes together. Towel cloth will wrap clothes with light and soft fabrics, and fine cotton wool falling off the towel will stick to the clothes, which will affect the beauty of the clothes.
4. Don't use softener frequently. After the fabric softener containing silicone resin is used, a layer of silicone oil will remain, which will affect the water absorption of towels. It is recommended to avoid using.
5. The washed towel is completely spread out on the clothesline and dried vertically. It's best to dry it first, and then expose it to the sun for ten minutes, so that the dried towel is soft and sterile. It can also be rolled up and dried in the dryer to make the cotton towel more fluffy and soft, but not for too long.
6. Towels are dry and wet. Whether it is dry cleaning or wet cleaning, the oil, sweat, inorganic salts and dust in the air on the towel will be wiped clean. Over time, the towel will harden, reduce the moisture absorption function, and be contaminated by bacteria and mold. Therefore, the towel after wiping should be washed immediately with soap or detergent, then washed away with warm water, and dried before use. Timely care and easy washing can keep the towel fluffy, soft and clean for a long time.
