Bargain-shop product gets white towels clean, bright and fluffy

A cleanfluencer who shares her housekeeping tips and tricks online has explained how she gets white towels light and fluffy again. The social media content creator known as the “Ironing Queen” on her TikTok account, dedicates her platform to posting laundry and ironing content, reports The Express.

In a recent video, she shared “How to get towels soft and white again,” adding “So in our house we use a lot of white towels, facecloths, for cleansing and cleaning makeup off.

“As you can see these towels are covered in all different kinds of makeup. Some of them are really grubby. So I’m going to show you how you get towels soft and white again. Let’s get to it.”

Instead of fabric softener, she uses soda crystals - with a packet available for under £1 from most discount retailers like Home Bargains, Poundland and B&M, to soften the water. She also uses biological, concentrated laundry liquid and laundry bleach.The Ironing Queen sets her washing machine to its highest setting - for cotton - and one tablespoon of the crystals, as well as detergent and bleach, in at the same time.

People left comments expressing their gratitude as well as giving helpful suggestions of their own for towel whitening and softening.

“Two heaping tablespoons of Borax. Fill dispenser with water,” one person wrote. “Then hang on the line, so the sun can sanitize them and they’re great for exfoliating,” an individual suggested.

Another wrote: “I shove Fairy liquid straight into the drum - brilliant whites after.” “I use soda crystals on my whites all the time, no bleach,” someone wrote.

“I love your content!” another person exclaimed. “I really love your content. Keep going,” someone else mirrored that sentiment.
