How do you wash massage towels and get them soft, odorless and more absorbent?

Have you bought new towels or fitted sheets to stretch on your massage table? After using it a few times, sheets and towels can start to feel rough or spread unpleasant smells. Over time, they will no longer smell fresh and retain moisture, so towels will absorb less. Because moisture is an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, there is a risk that bacteria will attach more easily to the damp textile. How can you prevent this?

• Make sure you dry the sheets and towels immediately after washing, preferably in a dryer at a high temperature. Never use towels or sheets in your massage parlor that are still damp.
• Use white vinegar and sodium bicarbonate or baking soda during a wash in the washing machine.

White vinegar and sodium bicarbonate or baking soda

This is what you need for a wash:

• 1 cup of white vinegar (250 ml) or distilled vinegar
• Half a cup of baking soda (also called sodium bicarbonate or baking soda): 125 mg
• Hot water

Dirty towels and sheets that no longer smell so fresh can be treated in the washing machine. Dissolve a cup of white vinegar in some water and put it in the drum of your washing machine. Run the washing machine through the full cycle. Very easy!

Afterwards, run the washing program again with hot water, but now you add the baking soda, sodium bicarbonate. It is important not to mix the two ingredients, vinegar and sodium bicarbonate.

Hang the towels to dry after this wash and immediately notice the difference when you use the towels again.

How can this be explained by making your towels softer and smelling fresh?

Science can explain these simple, natural tips. Commercial talk and commercials lead us to believe that the recommended laundry products and fabric softeners provide optimal results. However, the opposite is true. Too many added fragrances, dyes and chemicals will damage the fabric, it will build up the detergent in the fabric, making the fibers rougher and the towel will no longer be able to absorb water.

• White vinegar contains acetic acid, which has the ability to remove bacteria and moisture from towels. The musty smell disappears and the textile feels soft and pleasant again.
• Sodium bicarbonate or baking soda is an ideal product that can be used for many cleaning jobs in and around the house. It disinfects, removes dirt residues and grease and neutralizes bad odors. The basic property of baking soda is much higher than that of most detergents, so this simple, white powder cleans and deodorizes much better. Baking soda is called (sodium) bicarbonate in chemistry. In the body, bicarbonate plays an important role in deacidification. It also has a function in keeping the pH in the blood constant, among other things. Our pancreas produces massive amounts of baking soda to neutralize the acidic environment in the small intestine. When bicarbonate comes into contact with acid, the liquid starts to bubble because CO2 is released.
