How to get Soft, Fluffy, Resort Style Towels and Robes

Resorts, and their high use towels, use special commercial softeners to get their results but here is some home, affordable tricks, to get a similar result. It’s all to do with Vinegar, dryers and woollen dryer balls.


Using too much softener, or using it regularly, might make them smell nice but they can over-coat the towel fibres and not allow them to breath and open up to be fluffy. We recommend occasionally using vinegar in the rinse/ softener draw of the washer to break through the buildup of softener and soap.



After washing the towels, you can either put them straight into the dryer, with some woollen dryer balls to help open the fibres and fluff the towels as they go round in the dryer. Otherwise, to save a few dollars, hang the towels on the clothesline to semi-dry and then finishes them off in the dryer with the woollen dryer balls.
