House Cleaning West Seattle - How to make your towels really soft?

Soft and fluffy towels are great right? What happens to them as they veer away from the wonderful state? In real life the towels absorb water and they are not hung up properly in the bathrooms during the house cleaning process that is why they remain damp and get stinky. The hampers and baskets get full and we stuff the towels in the washing machine and they don’t get cleaned properly, we don’t dry them properly and just fold them right away that makes them wrinkled and crunchy. Here are a few tips by House Cleaning West Seattle which you can follow to make your towels new again. 

 

De-stink your towels
