Ever wonder how to get your towels as fluffy as they feel in luxury hotels? The answer is simple: tennis balls! Adding a few clean tennis balls to your dryer can transform your towels from stiff and flat to soft and plush. Here’s how this easy trick works and why it’s a game-changer for your laundry routine.
Why Tennis Balls Work
When towels dry, their fibers can clump together, trapping moisture and leaving them feeling rough. Tennis balls bounce around in the dryer, separating the fibers and allowing more air to circulate, which helps the towels dry faster and fluff up. This also helps avoid the need for fabric softeners, which can reduce towels’ absorbency over time.
How to Use Tennis Balls for Fluffier Towels:
- Load your towels into the dryer.
- Toss in 2-3 clean tennis balls (you can wrap them in socks if you prefer).
- Set the dryer on medium or high heat and let it run.
- Take out your towels, which will now feel fluffier and softer!
Extra Tips for Even Softer Towels:
- Don’t Overload: Make sure to leave enough room in the dryer for the towels to tumble freely.
- Wash with Vinegar: Every so often, add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to your wash to remove buildup from detergent or fabric softeners.
- Skip Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners can actually make towels less absorbent over time. Stick to the tennis ball hack for long-term softness.
