Softening Bath Towels
31 Answers
New cotton towels are lovely and soft -- why don't they stay like that? When they have been in the washing machine, with fabric softener, they always dry quite rough. When they have dried naturally on the line I put them in the tumble drier, but invariably they don't soften up (not like in the adverts ... ) Should I put them in the tumble drier when they are wet .. and if so, soaking wet or is damp OK? Do I need a softener in the drier? Sometimes I soak them in Comfort, don't even rinse, and they still dry the same. Help !!

Hi gessoo glad you got the balls.............only plug them 'cos they save money, the planet, chemicals, easy to use, etc etc. Suppose it just shows that you don't really have to chant at the full moon to be a bit eco.
As previous thread, you can leave your hair for a few weeks and then as the oils that are in it grow out, you'll have the softest hair on the block. Except that you'll probably have to endure afew weeks of misery to get there. It would amuse your friends for a bit though! Use natural herbs to rinse for the same effect.
Netibiza - not sure where you are located - but you may find the balls at a good alternative lifestyle shop, real food type places, occasionally at Ideal Home Show type events.
Re online shopping reticence - bear in mind that if you pay by c/card the info will be scrambled if the site is a reputable one. If you pay in a shop, they can take duplicate readings, and the numbers from a keypad are only sent by telephone wires anyway to get the verification codes, so you are just as likely - or maybe more likely to be scammed. There are concerns, and you are right to think of them, but if the trader has a reliable service online, you should be able to call them and deal with a person and order that way.
judiewudie thats cheating! Anyway, the otherside of the UK is China isn't it? Look at a globe..........snigger snigger......but seriously folks, Surrey has an airport so why not use it and get a nice cheap flight, and come and see the real world!! Its quite safe you know. Useless info. of no interest to anyone, but this is the Internet...I used to live in Surrey.
Have a ball (or 2) everyone.........
,,, and I used to live in Surrey, as well.
One of the reasons I ordered the balls is that I have no mains drainage (obvious that I don't live in Surrey now!!) Presumably my septic tank will benefit from the lack of chemicals, as will the surrounding land.
Question for Nickmo: I live in a very hard water area which obviously means furred up plumbing, etc. Will the balls need the addition of one of the balls that deals with limescale? I noticed them on the website. By the way the postage and packing at the greenshop web site was really expensive, so I used the other site.
I still plan to wash my hair! If I was a bit younger I might try rasta.
