Towel washing frequency is often debated, with experts recommending washing after three uses. A washing machine expert highlights a common mistake - washing just one towel in a front-loader - which can leave towels dirty and damage the machine. He advises using a minimum of three towels per wash, ideally four to five, and to use less detergent than for clothes. Adding white vinegar can also enhance cleaning and softness.
Towels used for drying after showers are notorious for absorbing copious amounts of water, leaving them damp for hours on end and creating a haven for germs.Experts generally advocate washing towels after three uses; however, research by Showers to You suggests nearly two million Brits only wash their towels annually. Nonetheless, towel cleanliness isn't solely determined by washing frequency.
Furthermore, when washing towels, use less detergent than for clothes, saying: "Towels will always over-sud. With sheets, towels, always put less detergent". To achieve cleaner results and safeguard the washing machine, he recommends using less detergent and fewer towels per wash, leading to both "machine will be happy, your towels will be washed properly". Further enhancing this effective technique, the expert advises adding "white vinegar in there to get them soft".
