These new towels are so soft and snuggly and nice... we haven't used them yet, for fear that they will soon turn rough and scratchy like all of the other old towels we have. This maddness must come to an end, especially since we are planning to repaint most of the house and our bathroom would look soooo pretty with the new towels in it.
So, google search it is... "How do you keep your towels soft and new"
The answer:
Vinegar and baking soda... mainly vinegar
I've heard of several families getting rid of their chemical cleaners and just use vinegar for pretty much everything... but I wasn't quite sold on it.
However, this morning I read this post:
Just a thought: i know my previous comments are long, but i really think that we are all complicating our lives with convenience. i am not saying to abandon your favorite cleaners, because there are things i love and would not give up. i love my dawn, cascade, tide, and downy and i wouldn't give them up.
But what if you could simplify, save money, and time, reduce the amount of spray bottles and cleaner, and not have to compromise?
Let me ask you this: what do you clean your microwave with? what do your wash your fresh veggies with? what do clean your frig with?
My answer used to be bleach, then i got sick and was diagnosed with lupus and had to rethink things.
What did my granny and my great-grandmother use? Then it came to me: vinegar and baking soda. You can literally clean everything in your house with vinegar. (except granite and marble).
i remember cleaning windows with vinegar and news paper, and guess what? It still works, but would it work on anything else?
I thought long and hard about what it would take to make me a believer (a convert if you will. i used to clean everything with bleach). then it came to me: the oven.
I took the racks out and put them in the bathtub and sprayed them down with full strength vinegar and let them sit. I turned on the warming drawer to heat up the oven just a little bit and sprayed the oven, door and the glass and let it sit.
I waited until about an hour passed and then sprayed the racks with hot water and wiped a few spots with a scrubby. They looked new!
i resprayed the oven and used the scrubby on the glass and wiped it down with hot water and it worked.
I was stunned, hooked. Glass to grease, no steaks and no residue.
i kind of feel like the Lorax in Dr. Seuss,
shaking my fist, "glub, glub" at you know who.
Try some, try some you will love it too!
I'm a geek. I tried to resist but it was no use.
Sorry i got carried away. star

And suddenly I'm a little intrigued. So.... a little vinegar we will try. I will let you know how it goes.
By the way, I was stunned at all of the many uses vinegar has... check this link:
