5 tips for cleaning and whitening your towels naturally

4. Hydrogen Peroxide – The Fiber-Friendly Disinfectant
Unlike bleach, hydrogen peroxide (3%) cleans deeply without eating away at your fabric. It kills germs, lightens stains, and preserves softness.
 How to use it: Add ½ cup to the main wash. For spot stains, apply directly to the area, let sit for 10 minutes, then wash.

5. Coarse Salt – The Secret Ingredient
Salt isn’t just for cooking — it helps fix colors, reduce mildew buildup, and gently exfoliate stubborn residues from the fabric.
How to use it: Mix 1 cup of coarse salt in warm water and let towels soak before washing. Or toss it straight into the drum for a refreshing boost.

 Bonus Tips to Make Towels Last Longer:
 Skip the fabric softener: It coats the fibers and traps odors.
 Dry in the sun: UV light naturally disinfects and leaves a crisp, fresh scent.
 Wash towels alone: Avoid mixing them with synthetic clothes.
 Don’t overload the machine: Let towels move freely for a thorough rinse.
 Still smell musty? Try a two-step deep clean — vinegar cycle first, then baking soda.
Final Thought:
When you switch to these natural methods, you’ll notice more than just whiter towels — you’ll feel a difference every time you step out of the shower. Softer fabric. No weird smells. A fresh, clean feeling that lasts.

 Your skin will thank you. So will the planet.

So next laundry day, skip the bleach — and try nature’s way instead.
