How to restore softness to terry towels

In order to restore the towels to their original softness and fluffiness, you can use a simple product - table salt. There is no need to add it directly to the washing machine drum. Instead, prepare a salt solution and soak your laundry in it.

Here's how to do it: first, wash the towels as you normally would. Then soak them for one hour in a warm salt solution, using the ratio of three tablespoons of salt for every three liters of water, or one tablespoon per liter of water.
