There’s nothing quite like the indulgence of brand new, fluffy white towels – but inevitably, after several washes, they often become stiff and dull.
Let’s face it – many of us don’t invest the proper care when laundering our towels. Are you guilty of chucking them into the machine and crossing your fingers? Overloading the washer, excessive detergent or fabric softener, and hard water can all lead to less-than-soft towels.
However, there’s a miraculous cleaning hack that promises to rejuvenate your towels, making them as ‘fluffy as clouds’. TikTok sensation and lifestyle guru Kaye Marie shared her secret, stating: “If you’re struggling to keep towels white and fluffy, this video is for you. First of all, we absolutely do not mix colours.”
Kaye insists on washing only white towels together, and adding a ‘Spanish whitening tablet’ to the load, which she claims will “change your life” – specifically Blanco Puro’s Puntomatic. These are available on Amazon – eight capsules for £6.49, or from The Little Spanish Cleaning Company, where Kaye gets hers, at £3.
Next, she swears by Ace Ultra For Whites, a bleach that she describes as an “unbelievable” must-have. It’s available in supermarkets, or online on the Ace website for £3. Additionally, Kaye adds white vinegar to the drum, praising its versatility and assuring that it “will make sure your towels are like fluffy clouds”.
The clever cleaner recommends adding Fairy Non Bio Gel, available in supermarkets or for £21.29 on Amazon for a 1.8l Mega Pack, and then setting the machine to a 60C cycle. After washing, Kaye dries the towels in the tumble dryer to ensure they stay soft and fluffy.
In the comments section, fans were quick to praise the tip, with one person posting: “White vinegar is a game changer I use it all my towel washes.”
Someone else chimed in: “I ALWAYS tumble dry my towels – as soon as you start putting them on the line or air drying it’s game over – they will be like cardboard.”
Another follower remarked: “Those whitening tablets are as you say ‘life. My whites are so white I need sunglasses.”
