    How to Wash Towels and Make Them Last Longer
    Towels are one of the most common daily necessities found in homes today.And wash used towels every week is very important to maintain good hygiene and freshness.But do you know how to wash towels properly?Here are some helpful tips will keep your towels looking and feeling like new even after several washes.
    1.Wash used towels about once a week.
    Some manufacturers and home advice columnists recommend washing your towels every three or four days, but if your towels are kept in a ventilated area away from steam, you can keep them fresh with a wash once every week or so.
    2.Wash towels separately from other clothing (optional). If if you'd like to save money, time, or energy,you'd better wash towels separately from other clothing.Because towels tend to absorb colors of other clothing, shed lint, and trap smaller clothes items, which results in a less effective wash.
    3.Sort laundry loads by color.
    Towels are especially absorbent, so if you want to maintain their appearance you should only wash them in separate light and dark loads. 
    4.Wash new towels with special care before using.
    Because new towels are especially likely to lose their color, use half the usual amount of detergent and add 1/2 – 1 cup of white vinegar (120 – 240 mL) onto the towels to minimize later color bleeding. 
    5.Wash towels with half the usual amount of detergent.
    Too much soap can damage towels and make them less fluffy. If your load only contains towels, use half the amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. 
    6.Learn which temperatures are suitable for which towels.
    Most white and light-colored towels should be washed in hot water. Most dark towels should be washed in warm water or cold water, especially the microfiber towels.
