Kitchen towels are an indispensable thing for housewives, but they get dirty very quickly. Grease, stains from food and drinks remain on the fabric, and it seems almost impossible to get them clean again. However, try leaving the towels overnight in a solution that you can prepare right now, because you probably have everything you need at home.
The solution requires only 4 simple ingredients: baking soda, salt, vinegar, and dishwashing detergent. They work great together, removing even old grease stains and unpleasant odors. Let's start by preparing the solution. Place the towels in any basin, and in a separate container, mix the baking soda, salt, and detergent. The amount depends on the number of towels, but the proportions should be the same.
Then, apply the mixture to the stains in small spots and pour a little vinegar on top to allow the reaction to take place. Leave it for 5 minutes and then fill everything with hot water. It is important that the towels are completely submerged in the water, so if necessary, press them down with something heavy. Leave the towels overnight to let the solution do its work. There will be no trace of the caustic stains left.
In the morning, you will see that the towels already look much better. But for the perfect result, they need to be washed. Rinse the fabric in clean water to remove any remaining solution, and then wash the towels by hand or in the washing machine. After washing, the towels will be clean, fresh and look almost like new.
This method is suitable for all types of kitchen towels. It is effective and very simple. You do not need to spend hours rubbing the fabric or using aggressive chemicals. All you need is a little time and the right solution. Even old towels that you were already planning to throw away will get a “second life” after such treatment. Use it!
