5 Tips for Cleaning and Whitening Your Towels Naturally

For extra whitening, add ¼ cup of lemon juice to the wash.

Lemon acts as a natural bleach alternative and gives towels a fresh scent.

4. Sun-Dry Whenever Possible

Hang towels outside to dry in direct sunlight.

Sunlight naturally whitens fabrics and kills bacteria without harsh chemicals.

5. Avoid Fabric Softener

Skip commercial fabric softeners—they leave residues that reduce absorbency.

Stick to vinegar or baking soda for soft, fluffy, and fully absorbent towels.

Extra Tip: Wash towels separately from clothes to prevent lint transfer and preserve color and texture.
