Don't use any fabric softener on towels by: Anonymous
When my dryer broke I began drying my towels on the line. They were rough so I began adding more fabric softener. BIG MISTAKE!! My towels were softer but the build up started to make them much less absorbent and a little bit greasy feeling. I searched the internet for the answer and found out vinegar and hot water will help soften towels. After several washing this way my towels are now a lot softer and much more absorbent. Line drying makes them fresher.

My mom told me this a long time ago and I didn't really believe her or understand why you shouldn't put those dryer sheets in. Now I know, thanks!
