You don’t need a complicated collection of laundry products to keep your towels fresh. A few basic supplies are usually enough.
Laundry Detergent
Use a quality detergent and follow the manufacturer’s recommended amount. Using too much detergent can actually leave residue behind, which may make towels feel stiff and contribute to unpleasant odors.
If you have sensitive skin, a fragrance-free detergent can be a good option.
Water at the Right Temperature
Always check the care label before choosing a wash temperature.
Kitchen towels that have been exposed to food residue may benefit from a hotter wash when the fabric allows it. Bath towels can often be washed in warm water, depending on their care instructions.
