How much washing powder and fabric softener should I use?
Always use the washing powder quantities recommended by the manufacturer; if too much washing powder is used, powder residues can stick to the fibres, the cotton fibres go hard and the colours fade. Too little washing power will mean that too little decalcifier is present in the water and this also leads to a hardening of the fibres.
Be sparing with fabric softeners; they stick to the surface of the cotton fibres, which reduces the absorbency and drying ability of the towels. Fabric softeners also encourage the formation of fluff. If you use a tumble drier, you can dispense with softeners all together: during the drying process, the air fluffs up the terry towelling and makes it particularly soft to the touch. Terry towelling dried over a radiator goes stiff but can be fluffed up again by gentle rubbing and kneading.
