Towels that are always soft, with the 2-spoon method they will always be perfect

Soft and clean towels
Whether they are large bathrobes or face towels, their contact should be like a caress on the skin. Or at least that is what you would expect, but if not, there is a solution. Let’s clear this up together?

Towels that are rough to the touch: causes and consequences
One of the laundry items that you have to pay close attention to is towels. Also because if we make a mistake once dry, we will see the response on the skin! And there is nothing more unpleasant than drying yourself with a rough towel!

The skin notices it immediately and the same goes for towels that “smell damp”, something that is unpleasant and leads you to wash again and change towels.

There are certainly those who recognise themselves in this feeling, which is more frequent in winter, when disturbances make the drying process difficult, if you don’t have a dryer.

But the problem remains the rough towel that in the end, instead of hugging us, leaves our skin red. So either we get that miraculous fabric softener that costs us an arm and a leg or we look for natural alternatives if we don’t want to buy new towels.

The two-spoon method
The natural remedy to always have soft towels with their absorbent capacity intact is the use of two natural products that we have at home:

Marseille soap
baking soda.
In the production of Marseille soap there are strict manufacturing standards that require the use of only pure olive oil, salt and soda from Provence and Camargue, respectively. Any addition of animal fat to this soap is prohibited.

Always soft towels
So the authentic Marseille soap is a 100% natural soap. Nowadays, it is no longer necessary to use only pure olive oil from Provence.

Although it is appreciated for its famous green colour that it gives to the soap, you can now find different combinations where different vegetable oils such as coconut oil or palm oil are used. In addition to its beneficial virtues for laundry, Marseille soap is a true beauty ally for the care of your skin.

Thus, if you use it in washing towels, its properties are transferred to the clothes themselves and you avoid experiencing those unpleasant effects that chemical detergents have on fibres. In addition, it is also appreciated for its ecological aspect since it is completely biodegradable.

Not to mention that it is a valid alternative for those who suffer from sensitive skin problems and allergies sometimes associated with industrial products used in washing clothes in contact with the skin.

Wash after wash, some residues are deposited, which makes the towel lose elasticity and become stiff, in addition, obviously, to the water particularly rich in calcium, which makes it last.

In addition, the final advantage of this natural solution is its value for money.

How to make soap for towels.
Once we have the ingredients, all we have to do is grate a little Marseille soap until a kitchen spoon is full. Or if we have it in flakes, just put them in the spoon and pour it into the washing machine glass. Meanwhile, you will also have put a spoonful of baking soda in the basket.

If you also combine these two products with natural softeners such as citric acid diluted in demineralized water or white vinegar, you will have as a result, wash after wash, towels that are always soft and pleasant to wrap.
