What are kitchen textiles made of?

Kitchen textiles are almost always made of cotton. Cotton comes from the cotton plant and is known for being a soft fabric that absorbs moisture well. Ideal for products that need to dry quickly. Yet your newly purchased kitchen towels and tea towels will not dry well at all. This is because cotton contains a natural wax layer that repels water. This must be removed first. Manufacturers also add chemicals to your new kitchen textiles. This makes the cloths feel extra soft and makes them firmer.

How do I get my kitchen textiles dry ready?

Of course it is nice that your kitchen textiles have been made firmer, but now they do not dry well! However, this is very easy to solve. You can easily remove the extra layer of wax and chemicals from your cloths by soaking them overnight in cold water with vinegar. The extra layers are broken down thanks to the vinegar. In addition, it also ensures that the colors of the textiles last extra long. After soaking, wash the cloths at 60 degrees and let them dry naturally. From now on, the cloths will do exactly what you expect them to do: absorb moisture very quickly! Still nice when you do the dishes or want to dry your hands.

How do I maintain my kitchen towels?

To ensure that your cloths continue to dry properly from now on, it is important that you always wash them at 60 degrees without using fabric softener. Because no matter how wonderful it may smell and how soft it makes your cloths, fabric softener unfortunately puts the chemical layers back on the cotton. As a result, after a few washes, your kitchen textiles will again not absorb moisture properly.

Soft kitchen textiles

Would you still like to have soft kitchen towels, tea towels and dishcloths? Then add a little vinegar again during washing. You won't smell this through the detergent, and vinegar makes the cloths just as soft as fabric softener! In addition, vinegar also makes the cloths extra clean, which is nice when this comes with clean Tableware and clean hands, right?
