Towel used for a long time will become hard, wet sticky and there is a smell, then, towel hard wet sticky smell how to do? Now, let's learn how to solve the problem of towel becoming hard and sticky!
How to solve the problem of towel becoming hard and sticky
1. Don't mix towels
The towel used for washing face should be used only when wiping face after washing face, and should not be used for wiping sweat or body and other purposes. Because when using towel to dry the body, the body secretions, bacteria, grease and so on are easy to attach to the towel, if not regularly disinfected and cleaned, the towel will become wet sticky or dry hard.
2. High temperature disinfection is the most effective
When washing the towel, you can boil it with water for 10 minutes, then add detergent to clean it, and then take the towel to a ventilated place to dry. If you think the method of boiling towel with water is too troublesome, you can also wash the towel and put it into the microwave oven for 5 minutes to achieve the effect of high temperature disinfection.
3. Use vinegar and soda to remove odors
When washing the towel according to the general washing procedure, two tablespoons of white vinegar can be added into the washing machine, and the appropriate amount of hot water can also be added, without adding washing liquid, softener and other things, and directly start the washing machine for cleaning. After the cleaning process is completed, a little laundry soap or soda powder can be added to wash again to remove most of the odor and sticky.
4. Dry as soon as possible after use
After using the towel, the towel should be dried immediately to avoid mildew, and it can be cleaned immediately after using the towel. If there are windows in the bathroom, it is better to open the window during the day to strengthen ventilation and avoid the mildew of towel. In addition, should try to avoid drying towel in the shade, but let the sun dry, in order to achieve sterilization effect, there will be no smell.
5. Use alkaline cleaner or rub with salt to improve hardening
If the towel has become sticky or hard, you can add alkaline detergent in water or rub it with salt, and then rinse it with clean water to improve the problem. If it is still unable to remove the odor, it means that the service life of the towel has expired, and it is better to replace it with a brand-new towel.
Tips for buying towels
Towels should have high color fastness, so avoid buying products with the words "wash separately" or "wash with similar colors" on the washing label. This is a maintenance instruction that has no meaning for the towel. However, if the washing label indicates that the first two or three separate washings are required, this is acceptable because it means that the towel does not fade easily, but there may be residual dyes which can be easily and permanently removed. Although the color towel is lovely, it is not a bad idea to buy some pure white towel.
In general, pure white towels can be cleaned with the most intense methods, such as hot water, strong detergent and chlorine bleach, so it is not difficult to maintain good condition. You will also find that white towel is not only very attractive in the bathroom, but also has many uses outside the bathroom, such as laying wet clothes on them or drawing them into towel to absorb moisture, and hot and cold compress. You can also find other uses.
As for the thickness, half of the members dislike thick towels and think it's too thick to rub behind their ears or between their toes. They like thinner old towels or cheap new ones. The other half prefer the softness and super absorbent of thick towel. Most towels will shrink slightly, and poor quality towels may shrink more seriously, and usually deform significantly.
Cotton terry cloth can gently rub the skin to remove dirt, grease and dead cells, which is incomparable to other fabrics. Although cotton cloth is not as absorbent as linen and begins to appear water-resistant when it dries, the loop on the surface of Terry helps to absorb and retain more water, and the water absorption effect is better than other towel materials. The more Terry the towel, the stronger the water absorption, but the terry should be long, and the winding can not be too tight. When the loop is cut into velvet loop, it feels like velvet. The printed pattern is also very good, but the water absorption is much lower.
Cotton terry cloth with polyester fiber as the base cloth is still quite absorbent, because most of the water absorption function of towel comes from the pile, and polyester fiber can increase the strength and durability. When purchasing, we usually hope that the woven fabric is compact and even, preferably twill, and the influence of the number of threads on the absorption capacity is not as good as the towel with weight: the heavier towel is more absorbent. It's best to choose a towel with dense, thick, strong, long pile and even cloth edge, and the stitches should be small and have seam edges. Facing the light, carefully check the woven quality of the base cloth and feel its softness and elasticity.
Avoid buying a towel that lacks cotton texture, Terry feel, dryness and a silky feel. In my experience, this kind of towel usually has to wear and tear for many years and become more cotton before it can absorb water. Although Egyptian and Pima towels with extra long and short fibers are considered the top class towels in the market, I prefer terry fabrics made of upland cotton, because I think this kind of towel seems to have better absorption and softness. However, the super long short fiber towel used for a long time, softness and water absorption will also increase.
The competition between linen bath towel and Terry Bath towel is very fierce. Some places in Europe still prefer linen bath towel. Linen towels are usually quite bulky, but they absorb water quickly and can make you feel cold when the bathroom is cold. In addition, it is quite easy to wrinkle. Linen bathtubs can be very beautiful, especially those with long, silky trimmings, but a linen towel with a fine border after bathing, although elegant, is not as warm and comfortable as a terry towel.
Some manufacturers make Terry linen bath towels, which are usually sold to men. These towels are woven with top, coarse, honeycomb and waffle weave. Flax towel is absorbent and durable, not yellowing and graying, and can withstand strong washing. All cotton fabrics are very absorbent, but cotton terry wipes are more absorbent than other types of cotton wipes. The wipes used by guests are usually delicate and elegant, with tassels, embroidery, cut hole embroidery or lace, but they need to be pressed carefully to look good.
