Why do sheets get softer with each wash, while towels get coarser over time?
In: 2810
Reminded me of a towel life-hack (I worked in marketing for a major US retailer for a decade).
If you like your towels, use liquid fabric softener in the wash vs. dryer sheets. I can’t recall the “why”, but the company “towel expert” did a presentation with towels from the product testing lab. After like a hundred wash/dry cycles, the liquid softener towels were like new, while the dryer-sheet towels were markedly eroded. It was really night and day when they passed the examples around. Wish I could remember the explanation, but it was pretty dramatic.
