my mum swears by this and it actually works! She puts them in a bath of luke warm water with a generous amount of salt in it, leaves them for an hour or so and then pops them in the washing machine. Once they dry they are the softest and fluffiest towles you will ever have used. Im telling you i was sceptical but it really works!
Buttons: after the salt bath do you wash normally with detergent before using? Do they need the salt bath more than once? I've tried washing them alone and without using fabric softener, then the dryer, but they still get the bits. Thanks
