The Ultimate Towel-Cleaning Trick
All you need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Very hot water
No detergent. No degreaser. No special products.
Step-by-Step Method
- Fill a Large Container
Use a sink, bucket, or large pot. Add enough boiling or very hot water to fully submerge the towels. - Add Baking Soda
Sprinkle ½ cup of baking soda into the water. Stir to dissolve. - Soak the Towels
Add your dirty kitchen towels and let them soak for 30–60 minutes.
You’ll notice the water turning cloudy—that’s grease and residue being released. - Add Vinegar
Pour in 1 cup of white vinegar. The fizzing reaction helps break down stubborn oils and neutralize odors. - Rinse and Wash (No Detergent)
Rinse the towels thoroughly, then wash them in the washing machine using hot water only—no detergent needed. - Air-Dry or Tumble Dry
Dry as usual. For best freshness, air-dry in sunlight if possible.
The Results
- Grease stains visibly reduced
- Musty smells completely gone
- Towels feel softer and cleaner
- Colors appear brighter and refreshed
Many people are shocked at how “new” their towels look after just one treatment.
Extra Tips for Best Results
- Do this deep-clean once a month
- Never use fabric softener on kitchen towels—it traps grease
- Keep kitchen towels separate from regular laundry
Final Thoughts
You don’t need expensive detergents or harsh degreasers to revive your kitchen towels. This simple baking soda and vinegar method is affordable, eco-friendly, and incredibly effective.
