I discovered that a couple of my towels apparently got treated with fabric softener at one point: they have lost all absorbency (I never use softener but apparently someone in the household did). It is impossible to dry anything with them, they just push the water around.
What’s the best/easiest way to remove the vile stuff without damaging the towels?


people use vinegar for everything. I can’t image a world without vinegar.
Think again, Jimmy. You see, the pickles that you like so much are made with - yep, vinegar.
My partner has a vinegar allergy (among other very common items), and yeah, that’s not super far off lol. They love knitting and had a reaction from the vinegar used to set the dye…
