Tips to help break in your terry towels, and control Iint

• Soak new towels in several gallons of water, along with a cup of ammonia, and leave overnight. Wash the next day with a cup of distilled vinegar and a cup of detergent.
• Fully dry the towels after the first few washings to collect the excess lint. Empty the lint trap after every load.
• Never use bleach. Bleach breaks down the cotton fibers, resulting in lint.
• Avoid washing old towels with new towels.
• Avoid washing window towels, detail towels and body towels together.
• Don't use Fabric Softener.
• Use hot water for the first few washings. It will help to break in the towels more quickly. If hot water is not available, bring the towels to a Laundromat or commercial laundry where they can be washed for a minimum of 8 minutes with a water temperature greater than 168 degrees.
• Use fresh water each laundry load, because reusing water will retain lint.
• Darker colors take longer to break in then lighter colors or white.
• Add 1 cup of distilled vinegar once a week. The vinegar will help to remove musty damp smells, and wax build up from the towel.
• By increasing the alkalinity of the water, you can also help to open the fibers and diminish the sizing during the break-in period.
