Towels have a habit of discolouring and becoming hard with use and this is particularly so if, like here in Bristol, you live in a hard water area.Borax is great for freshening up tired towels and keeping them nice and fluffy. For a one-off treatment, add the towels to a bucket containing warm water and a couple of scoops of Borax and soak for 2 hours. This treatment will also help to get rid of stains and musty smells.
To keep towels in tip top condition swap half your washing powder with Borax and wash as usual, using a warm (not hot) wash. As with nappies, avoid using fabric conditioner as they coat the towels with silicone and reduce their absorbency.
