Make terry cloth soft again

Soaking

The Laundry (towels, washcloths, bathrobes) in 2/3 warm water and 1/3 vinegar soak for approx. 10 hours. Then wash as normal in the washing machine.

Washing

Before washing the terry cloth towels, add a dash of vinegar to the washing machine water. This dissolves the limescale from the towels and lets them become soft again.
