Anybody have a wash method to restore towels ? |
That is soooo aggravating when they do that. Some people have said that boiling them will restore their absorbing quality. I've never tried it, though. Since I've been using the really hot water wash, I haven't had any of them start to repel water. They do seem to wear out faster from the harsh washings, though.
I guess you really wouldn't have anything to lose by trying the boiling technique, as a repellent MF is pretty worthless.
